BTW - ntpsweep is not particularly stable or correct - so I don't know how much of a "reason to need sntp" it is.

The associated man page /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz is still included. How to reproduce: $ sudo apt-get install ntp $ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz Expected result: /usr/bin/sntp was included in Ubuntu 14.04: $ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp /usr/bin/sntp /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz The sntp program remains a very useful tool for interactively testing on the command line the offset of the local clock to a remote NTP server (like "ntpdate -qu [ntp-server]" previously). It should be included in the same package as its man page.
