Hi,
I have a Suse Server and have take the "ntp" in the hosts.cfg.
I get allways this Message back.
Service ntp on SERVER is OK (up)
Command: ntpdate -u -q -p 2 IP-Adresse 2>&1
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ntpdate program is deprecated and should not be used any more. To quote the upstream ntp developers:
"The functionality ntpdate offered is now provided by the ntpd daemon itself. If you call ntpd with the command line option -q it will retrieve the current time and set it accordingly."
Please check the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon man page and http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate for further information.
You can replace the ntpdate call with "rcntp ntptimeset" to achieve an inital poll of the servers specified in /etc/ntp.conf.
The program /usr/sbin/sntp offers comparable functionality to ntpdate. Specifically sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org is equivalent to ntpdate pool.ntp.org
For further details please refer to the man page of sntp. sntp: unable to write PID to /etc/sntp.pid sntp: Permission denied
Can you say me how I can change?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I think the answer is to use sntp. See this thread: http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2009/11/msg00134.html
It seems that sntp might not work for some deployments due to variations in parameter usage. So you might need to make your own wrapper script that runs sntp with suitable parameters to get the required output.
Xymon v5 will have it's own ntp code and this problem will go away.
