check_ntp_peer unreliable on macs

I've got Nagios monitoring several Macs, and I'd like to know that NTP  
is running okay on them, since if the time drifts by a few minutes,  
Kerberos Authentication stops working.
It seems that some of the newest Macs work okay, pretty much any of  
the Intel Macs running 10.5 Leopard work, but on any of the 10.4 Tiger  
Macs, I just get
" NTP CRITICAL: Server not synchronized, Offset unknown "

I'm simply running check_ntp_peer -H localhost

Any suggestions on if this can be fixed somehow?

Thanks
