[Xymon] NTP service graph broken

I can't get my NTP service page to show a graph.

I run a group of stratum-2 NTP servers for internal use, and I'd like
to monitor their NTP accuracy.  However, I've never been able to get
the "NTP" graphs to show on the status page (on Xymon 4.3.3).  It
always shows the broken image icon.  I don't think I have altered
anything to make it break, but I'm not completely sure - I think it
just never worked.

I get an "ntpstat" (rather than "ntp") graph, but it only shows up in
trends.  I'd like to get it showing up in the "ntp" status page also.
The <IMG> URL in the status page uses "service=ntp" rather than
"service=ntpstat" as I see on the demo site at xymon.org.

A quick look through the source code for xymonrrd.c (which sets the
URL for the IMG) doesn't seem to show how the URL could change the
service name from "ntp" to "ntpstat".

I've tried switching to using sntp, and I've tried adding "ntp" to
TEST2RRD and GRAPHS, even though I didn't think these would help.
They didn't help.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Jeremy
