There are two options to set the debug trace output level, and both imply -n / --nofork, as Danny mentioned. -d increments the debug level (which starts at 0) while -D# sets the debug trace to #. Be aware support for debug output is only present if configured. When ntpd is build after ./configure --disable-debugging, it simply does not understand either -d or -D options. You might have been invoking ntpd from the path, and that ntpd might have been configured without debugging code. You might try: ./ntpd -d If -d is still not accepted, try ./ntpd --version Assuming you want to use /etc/ntp.conf, you may not need any other command-line options aside from -d or -D1.
