I am not trying to get on the high precision road again, I am trying to get the server monitoring to not throw useful information away. In fact I think it would be easier (one less function call to abs() !) to track and plot the sign and magnitude of the offset rather than just the magnitude. Everywhere else in everybody's ntp tools they keep the sign of the offset around rather than throwing it away, so this is also a consistency thing.
