I can't reproduce this on my desktop machine or on my nagios server. $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -V check_ntp (nagios-plugins 1.4.5) 1.11 $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -H 127.0.0.1 NTP CRITICAL: No response from NTP server
$ ./check_ntp -V check_ntp v1861 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11) $ ./check_ntp -H 127.0.0.1 NTP CRITICAL: No response from NTP server What version are you running (check_ntp -V)? (And what does "ntpdate -ud 127.0.0.1" show when you run it? If you don't have a running NTP server, it should say "127.0.0.1: Server dropped: no data" somewhere in its output.) Also, the newer versions of nagios-plugins (in Hardy or later) are supposed to use check_ntp_peer (for seeing if an NTP server is up) and check_ntp_time (for seeing if the server's time is accurate); check_ntp is currently deprecated. ** Changed in: nagios-plugins (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- ntp check is worse than useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
