FWIW, and still quite irrelevant to the original question, while the
version shipped with Solaris 10 ("xntpd" actually) is indeed based on
ancient code, it does have a -g option:
# uname -sr
SunOS 5.10
# /usr/lib/inet/xntpd -v
/usr/lib/inet/xntpd: option requires argument -v
usage: /usr/lib/inet/xntpd [ -abdgmx ] [ -c config_file ] [ -e e_delay ]
[ -f freq_file ] [ -k key_file ] [ -l log_file ]
[ -p pid_file ] [ -r broad_delay ] [ -s statdir ]
[ -t trust_key ] [ -v sys_var ] [ -V default_sysvar ]
It's not documented, and may not do exactly what the current version of
-g does, but something pretty close.
