I have tried all the suggestions but still a no go.

I still get "offset=-105.293049s;60.000000;120.000000;"
and "Offset -105.293049 secs"

check_ntp is from the latest plugins version - 1.4.13.

I have put the absolute path /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp instead
of the $USER1$ variable.

I have put "-w 0.2 -c 0.3" - no luck.

Thanks.
