Initial Comment:
Nagios produce this warning status in the Webinterface:

**ePN /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp: "Argument
"(not parsed)" isn't numeric in abs at
(eval 13) line 401,".

If i called the check_ntp from the command line, i see
this output:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -H myntphost -v

NTP OK: Offset -0.000868 secs, jitter 1.897 msec, peer

Webinterface:
Status OK; Field: green

Details:
If the output line of ntpq not match, then the branch
else {... overwrite the previous
value of $jitter with '(not parsed)'. I think this line
sould be dropped to work
correctly.
