    JR> The check_ntp plugin does two things:
    JR> 1. It uses ntpdate to see if the clock on the target host is

    JR> 2. It uses ntpdc to measure the dispersion/jitter of the time sources
    JR>    the
    JR> target host is synchronized to.

    JR> So it should do what you want. What output are you getting from the

My bad.  It actually does work.  When the ntpd is initially started, it takes
a while to synchronize.  During that period, check_ntp reports (correctly)
that there is no synchronization.  Afterwards, it works fine.

Thanks!
