Running xymon 4.3.13 on SuSe ES 11 SP 3, the ntp test isn¹t working: Command: ntpdate -u -q -p 2 10.1.9.51 2>&1
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The ntpdate program is deprecated and should not be used any more.
I have given up on ntpdate, sntp, "ntpd -q" etc ... each sub-version of the ntp package appears to have a new set of commands and options.
In version 5, the NTP check is built into the network test tool, so it doesn't rely on any external programs.
That doesn't seem to be implemented yet on beta.xymon.com:

Service ntp on blixen.hswn.dk is OK (up)
Command: ntpdate -u -q -p 2 192.168.1.1 2>&1
server 192.168.1.1, stratum 2, offset -0.000006, delay 0.02565 10 Jan 19:29:22 ntpdate[8420]: adjust time server 192.168.1.1 offset -0.000006 sec
That's probably a show-stopper for migrating our core xymon server to SuSE. Is there a snapshot tarball with the new ntp method in it?
