I posted this to the ipfiler mail list, but I thought I would see what
you folks think.



Don't know if this is a side effect of ipfilter...

After compiling ipfilter 3.3.12 into my i386 FreeBSD 4.0 kernel, my
computer's time starts to accelerate.

Time holds steady when ipfilter is not compiled in. This trait also
appeared on this box when I had FreeBSD 3.2 installed.

I checked the BIOS time in the setup and it shows correct. If I reboot,
FreeBSD gets its time from the bios and then slowly and surely the time
accelerates.

Currently as I write this the time is 19:30, 26Apr00, but on the box it
shows 05:49 27Apr00.

I'm not a programmer, so I would even begin to know how to read code,
etc. I just know the results. If I remove ipfilter from the kernel and
recompile, time does not accelerate.

Anyone else have this happen? Could something else be conflicting when
ipfilter compiles in.

Computer specs:
Micron P90
96MB ram
FreeBSD 4.0
two nics
two western digital drives

Since this mail is going outbound through this box you should see the
timestamp doesn't come close to the time I said it was.

Cheers
-Mark
