It is associated with a "microuptime going backwards" error message repeated a dozen times per second and the system clock going forward at an alarming rate. The only way to stop this is <ctrl><alt><delete>. On reboot, time is OK, so the hardware clock is not affected. I ask again. How did you and your friends avoid this problem? -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
