Summary: check_ntp_time and check_ntp_peers cannot find offset

Initial Comment:
I'm having a similar problem with the "offset unknown" that others have had in the past, although I'm running 1.4.14 of the plugins using check_ntp_time and check_ntp_peer.  Below is the output of some of the commands.  For some reason check_ntp_peer doesn't even seem to be able to find the peers, although check_ntp_time seems fine, but doesn't get the correct offset.

Sorry for the late response,  Could you please run "ntpq -c rv" when this
