Summary: check_ntp perl expression does not match some values

Initial Comment:
check_ntp was returning:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or
string at ./check_ntp line 346.

The sys.peer line in the ntpq output was:

*127.127.7.1     CHU_AUDIO(1)     3 -  66m   64  377  
 0.000    0.000   0.020

The perl regex was not matching the _, ( or )

changed line 277 from:

if
(/^(\*|o)([-0-9.\s]+)\s+([-0-9A-Za-z.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([lumb-]+)\s+([-0-9m.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+
        ([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)/) {

To:
             if
(/^(\*|o)([-0-9.\s]+)\s+([-0-9A-Za-z_().]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([lumb-]+)\s+([-0-9hm.]+)\s+([-0-9.mh]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+(
[-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)/) {

and line 302 from:

$c =~
/^(#)([-0-9.\s]+)\s+([-0-9A-Za-z.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([lumb-]+)\s+([-0-9m.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9
        .]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)/;

to 
                    $c =~
/^(#)([-0-9.\s]+)\s+([-0-9A-Za-z_()..]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([lumb-]+)\s+([-0-9hm.]+)\s+([-0-9.mh]+)\s+([-0-9.
]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)\s+([-0-9.]+)/;

(basically added _() to the $3 check)

Not exactly.  It was a response from a Cisco Router and the
line corresponed to the routers own master clock.  The show
ntp assoc on the router shows:

+~127.127.7.1      127.127.7.1       3    24    64  377    
0.0    0.00     0.0

(see http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/ntpassoc.html )

The ntpq -p from the linux server running Nagios gives:
+CHU_AUDIO(1)    CHU_AUDIO(1)     3 -    5   64  377   
0.000    0.000   0.020

ntpq -p from a Solaris 8 server gives:

+CHU(1)          CHU(1)           3 -    5   64  377    
0.00    0.000    0.02

(note that the routers is actually synced to another ntp
source thus this shows only as a candidate)

There is a thread here which would indicate this is for a
radio.  I think it is just seeing the 127.127.7 and
assigning it that way since as I say this is a router acting
as it's own master so doesn't really have a radio attached
(well I don't think so anyway)

  A google search also brings up this:
