Description

The ntpq manpage doesn’t mention the -w flag (it does work though, check the output of ntpq -p vs ntpq -pw).
FreeBSD has it: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ntpq

Yes, it works. It just isn’t documented in the man page.

The ntp stuff comes from the distribution, not illumos-gate.
At least OmniOS has moved to ntpsec by default these days.

This is solved for OmniOS with ntpsec in r151036, I suppose this ticket could be moved to the Openindiana tracker.
