you should get an ICMP port unreachable if there is no UDP service listening. i haven't looked at nagios, but i wonder if it's not trying to use NTP "mode 6" control messages to get more status information out of the daemon. openntpd doesn't support these queries... > You an always: $ sudo ntpdate -qdv [host to check] or "rdate -pnv <host>". quite some time ago i added a check to make rdate bail out if the server is unsync'd. ... if ((data.status & STATUS_ALARM) == STATUS_ALARM) { warnx("Ignoring NTP server with alarm flag set"); return (-1); } ...
