Ah, I've been noticing this more on some servers recently, not just my
desktop. Possibly a newer ntp finally made it from sid to stable/testing
? Glad we won't have to adjust this manually each time ;)
Cheers, and a schönes Wochenende!

Hmmm, didn't notice any issues with my Sid installations. But then
again, I migrated mostly to ntpsec instead of ntp.
Ok, I was able to reproduce this now.

To be more precisely: The positive offsets now sport a leading plus
sign.

Will have a look, Thanks for the patch!
Didn't apply, but that only seemed whitespace related issues.
Since I wasn't happy with some details (backslash in front of the plus
is unnecessary, the plus is solely needed in the offset column, I made
my own minimal patch for it:
- } elsif ($line =~ /^\*\S+\s+\S+\s+\d+
\w\s+[\dm-]+\s+[\d-]+\s+[\d-]+\s+([\d\.-]+)\s+([\d\.-]+)\s+([\d\.-]+)/)
{
+ } elsif ($line =~ /^\*\S+\s+\S+\s+\d+
\w\s+[\dm-]+\s+[\d-]+\s+[\d-]+\s+([\d\.-]+)\s+([-\d\.+]+)\s+([\d\.-]+)/)
{
Will be in the next upload which will happen soon.
Regards, Axel
