Description Martin Poole 2008-08-16 00:02:23 UTC
Description of problem:

ntp servers that have either the LI_EXTRASEC or LI_MISSINGSEC value for the leap indicator are incorrectly treated as offset unknown,

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

nagios-plugins-ntp-1.4.11-4.fc9.i386.rpm

How reproducible:

requires a server with one of the mentioned leap indicators. will show in a -vv output as the li= value like

sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: packet contents:
        flags: 0x64
          li=1 (0x40)
          vn=4 (0x20)
          mode=4 (0x04)
        stratum = 3
        poll = 16
        precision = 7.62939e-06
        rtdelay = 0.0128936767578125
        rtdisp = 0.041259765625
        refid = d6b92d9
        refts = 1218843191.598644
        origts = 1218843213.636477
        rxts = 1218843213.637985
        txts = 1218843213.638051
offset 0.001145395159


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

NTP OK: Offset unknown|

Expected results:

NTP OK: Offset 0.001268528635 secs|offset=0.001269s;60.000000;120.000000;

Additional info:

flags used ...

/* bits 1,2 are the leap indicator */
#define LI_MASK 0xc0
#define LI(x) ((x&LI_MASK)>>6)
#define LI_SET(x,y) do{ x |= ((y<<6)&LI_MASK); }while(0)
/* and these are the values of the leap indicator */
#define LI_NOWARNING 0x00
#define LI_EXTRASEC 0x01
#define LI_MISSINGSEC 0x02
#define LI_ALARM 0x03

This appear to have been fixed in 1.4.12 upstream where the leap indicator test has been updated from


  if ( LI(slist[cserver].flags) != LI_NOWARNING ){

to

  if ( LI(slist[cserver].flags) == LI_ALARM ){
