[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#333356: check_ntp: fails when offset is 0

[Michael Renner]

Package: nagios-plugins
Version: 1.4-6
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

check_ntp fails when the offset is 0. This might have worked fine "back
then", but nowadays with fast servers you can actually get an offset of
0 when doing ntp checks on localhost.


morework:/# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -H 10.0.0.1
NTP OK: Offset 0.000002 secs, jitter 0.154 msec, peer is stratum 1
morework:/# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -H 10.0.0.1
NTP CRITICAL: server 10.0.0.1, stratum 2, offset 0.000000, delay 0.02565
Server for ntp probably down

Please consider removing or adapting the according check (line 205 in check_ntp)
