[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#764603: nagios-plugins-basic: The nagios plugin check_ntp_time does not recognize KoD packages from the ntpserver

[leo weppelman]

Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.16-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

After hardening the ntp configuration, I noticed that the nagios check was
no longer functioning. The line I added to ntp.conf was:
   restrict default limited kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery

The culprit turned out to be the 'kod' option in the restrict line.

The nagios check does not understand the contents of the 'KoD' package and
only reports that the server stratum is 0. Which is part of the KoD packet.

I created a patch to deal with this situation. The patch is in the
attachment.
