Summary: check_ntp.pl offset boundary condition fix

Initial Comment:
Version 1.20 of check_ntp.pl from
nagios-plugins-HEAD-200502231747

According to the code:

"An offset of 0.000000 with an error is probably bogus.
Actually, it's probably always bogus, but let's be
paranoid here."

Well, in the 3 weeks of running check_ntp.pl here, I
have received this error twice, on different servers:

[02-24-2005 16:04:05] SERVICE ALERT: dory;Check
NTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;NTP CRITICAL: server 1.2.3.4,
stratum 2, offset 0.000000, delay 0.02588

[02-13-2005 17:37:51] SERVICE ALERT: plod;Check
NTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;NTP CRITICAL: server 1.2.3.4,
stratum 2, offset 0.000000, delay 0.02599

I suggest we remove this check as an offset of 0.000000
is not bogus. It happens.

Patch attached.

John

Sorry about the delay - has been a busy week.

This is all running on Solaris 8 with the Solaris NTP daemon
- xntpd

John,

I am happy to apply the changes on CVS HEAD, but not on the patches 
for 1.4 yet as I do not know why it this check was added. Instead of your 
patch of removing comments, I've added in extra ones to reference this 
call.

Can you state your OS and ntp version please as the offset result maybe 
a problem to a specific level of software. I'll add that into the comments.

Thanks for the bug report.

Ton
