Package: hobbit
Version: 4.2.0.dfsg-14lenny3
Severity: wishlist

hobbit has the (by default disabled) option to warn about bigger
system clock offsets on monitored machines.

Unfortunately the implementation is incomplete and not really
very intuitive:

a) It is displayed in the CPU column. IMHO It should either have its
   own column ("clock" or so) or be included in the "ntpq" column
   where I looked for it first.

b) It is not possible to assign a value at which the warning level
   should go red -- only yellow is possible. It even doesn't argue if
   you provide two values, but the second one is ignored and higher
   clock offsets still result in only a yellow state.

c) Documentation (correctly) states that you can only give one value
   to CLOCK in hobbit-clients.cfg, but it is not documented what the
   effect respectively color of values above the given limit will be.
   (It results in a "yellow" state.)
