<p class="MsoNormal">Hi.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Today I updated our xymon server from Debian Lenny to Squeeze. After the upgrade, the NTP tests take a lot more time. We have two hosts that we test NTP on, and before the upgrade it took 0.2 seconds. Now it takes 8 seconds.
This must have been caused by an upgrade of some of the OS packages/libs. Does the NTP test use ntpdate or some other application from the OS?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Should I recompile Xymon after doing an upgrade like this, to link it to new versions of the libraries?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599542">http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599542</a>it's a bug in the Squeeze version of ntpdate. Looks like you'll have to sit it out or manually install an older version of ntpdate.
I noticed because I have other issues with ntpdate no longer working when querying our 2003 DC's.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
