 Note that the values didn't change much, but the german locale uses a
 , to sepperate decimal values instead of a dot.

Looks like the same problem as in #509359.

With kind regards, Jan.

Bug#531716: nagios-plugins-basic: Results of check_ntp* tests depend on locale

[Alexander Schmehl]

Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.12-5
Severity: normal

Hi!

It seems that the results of the ntp checks depend on the used locale:


=
r...@longinus:~# locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8

LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8

(Causes especially funny results, if you invoke the test via nrpe and
the locale settings of the user starting nrpe influence the results of
this test...)


Best regards,
