Neat.

Yeah, I'm using that, too. (Every 5min from a monitoring server to
each of our time servers). But I just started with it, so nothing nice
to see there yet. (Ok, that's not local, but as good as local
IMHO... :-)
I especially don't want to mess around with iptables only for
statistics, especially if the ntpd has its own statistics inside. And
I do want to have one querying tool to query all our ntp servers, not
just those with iptables support. (Think of Non-Linux machines...)
I also do a "ntpdc -c sysstat" out of curiosity, but I'm not yet sure
how I have to interpret the results.
/usr/share/doc/ntp-doc/html/ntpdc.html doesn't tell me that much about
the meaning of those numbers, especially the version ones. Anyone
knows better docs for this? The output which I parse into rrdtool
looks like this:
time since restart: 585465
time since reset: 585465
packets received: 17039402
packets processed: 22118
current version: 2207293
previous version: 14754000
bad version: 37
access denied: 0
bad length or format: 190
