sure.  it's the check_ntp program which is part of the nagios-plugin's
official group of plugins.  you can find the tarball at the project page:

	http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/

note that it's been pointed out that the offset calculation isn't fully
accurate since i do the arithmetic after converting the bitfields to
floats instead of before.  also, there might be a bug in the jitter
calculations, or at least istr someone saying something about that and
i don't recall it being fixed :)
