Karl, In fact I *do* have a computer that can resolve events to +/- 10nsec (http://gps.freebsd.dk) so I need it. In fact that machine is probably one of the best NTP servers in the entire world right now. >More geek nonsense - about what I expected. Call it "geek nonsense" if you want to. Warner is employed by the company that builds the stuff which figures out what time it is for NIST and although my professional affiliation isn't anywhere near that level, I can claim to be the first person to truly split the microsecond with a standard UNIX box. Listen, it is really too bad that you didn't get that pony for X-mas, and I can understand you why you are disappointed about it, but when do you plan to stop being grumpy about it ? :-) If you intend to keep up this "sour grapes" attitude, despite all the helpful answers you have gotten so far, you should consider stopping before you have worn out your welcome. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
