One thing I noticed very recently which might be worth considering for
4.3.29:

xymond/etcfiles/xymonserver.cfg.DIST contains:

NTPDATEOPTS="-u -q -p 1"

If on the host running xymond, ntpdate from the ntpsec project is
installed, then I just get the warning:

$ ntpdate -u -q -p 1 127.0.0.1
ntpdate: -p is no longer supported.
2019-04-11 19:22:28.524619 (-0200) +0.000002 +/- 0.000053 127.0.0.1 s4 no-leap
$

So it might be an idea to drop the "-p 1" completely.

		Kind regards, Axel
