check_ntp and time-offset 0.000000 sec

[Nelson, Ben]

I've done the same thing in our environment.  An offset of '0' didn't happen
very often, but it WAS frequent enough to get annoyed with notifications
about it.

Hi all!

We had to comment out the following pice of code in the check_ntp plugin:

	# An offset of 0.000000 with an error is probably bogus. Actually,
	# it's probably always bogus, but let's be paranoid here.
	if ($offset == 0) { undef $offset;}

We are using check_ntp to watch for the time difference on our server which
are all NTP-Clients. Some times Nagios reported an error, because of a
zero-offset.

At the moment I can't overview why this check should be done. What do you
think?

ciao
Kurt
