[Nagiosplug-help] Problems with check_ntp_time v1.4.14 NTP CRITICAL: Offset unknown|

[Elie Delorme]

All servers I poll have the same ntp configuration, it looks like the plugin
can't handle some offsets,
most of the time everything is fine, then I randomly get an "Offset unknown"
for a server.

I found a couple references to a bug involving a leap second, but they were
also saying that it should be corrected
in 1.4.12.

I have tried restarting the ntp service a couple times but it did not help a
bit.
I also checked with ntpq and everything seems fine.

My version is 1.4.14 ( latest available on sourceforge):
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ntp_time --help
check_ntp_time v1.4.14 (nagios-plugins 1.4.14)

Here is the output I get when executing the plugin from the command line:
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ntp_time -v -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

response from peer 0: offset -0.01565231133

Every single other hosts return something similar to this:
