[Bug 1010110] Re: check_ntp_time sometimes report Offset unknown

[Marc Gariépy]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
  Sometimes the output from check_ntp_time is "Offset unknown" while the ntp server is fine.
+ 
  It can stay like that for a while and then comes back to normal.
  
  Here's a sample output while the problem was present on the server:
+ 
+ [Test Case] 
+ Install nagios and wait for the check to fail. when it fails, run the commands manually.
  
  root at server:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp_time -H 0.ca.pool.ntp.org
  NTP CRITICAL: Offset unknown|
  
  root at server:~# ntpdate -q 0.ca.pool.ntp.org
  server 24.37.24.30, stratum 3, offset -0.006237, delay 0.16121
  server 72.38.129.202, stratum 2, offset 0.022085, delay 0.05280
  server 208.80.96.96, stratum 3, offset 0.030917, delay 0.05905
+ 
+ Install the patched version and notice that the check works now.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Unlikely, the check_ntp_time is now the same as the version in 10.04
+ which works correctly.
