Can anybody verify that the rawstats file created by NTP 4.2.8p17 has the following format issue? I'm seeing some records like:

60150 40.610 45.33.116.78 216.31.16.12 0.000000000 0.000000000 3899232040.609616505 0.000000000 3 4 3 0 6 -23 0.000000 0.000000 . .

The format issue is with the last three characters of the record (not counting the newline), which are: period, space, period.

The first period introduces the REFID field value.

The space delimits the REFID.

The second period occurs where the optional hex data length, in bytes, should be. It is an illegal character in that position.

It's as if the REFID value contains a space, and that space is being typed to the rawstats file, creating a spurious field delimiter.

This is not happening in every rawstats record. I'm also seeing well-formed records in the same file, such as:

60150 2329.645 69.89.207.99 45.33.116.78 3899234329.608065131 3899234329.823090134 3899234329.823120518 3899234329.645183067 0 4 4 1 6 -23 0.000000 0.001068 .PPS.

Cheers!
Edward

The problem seems limited to records that have my node as the source address.
It also seems associated with times when ntpd was free-running.
At such times, there is no system peer, so REFID would be empty.
The problem then is that an empty REFID gets typed to rawstats as dot space dot.

When I revert to 4.2.8p15, the empty REFID is represented as dot dot (no space).
So this looks like a possible regression after 4.2.8p15.

Cheers! Edward

Edward,

Dave Hart tells me he hasn't been able to duplicate this problem.

Would you please open a bug report at bugs.ntp.org?
