Actually, someone pointed this out to me this morning that my clock was wrong: Wed Nov 12 11:33:32 GMT 1997 The actual time is... Wed Nov 12 11:16:21 GMT 1997 The second machine that I'm using for reference is running xntpd, so I guess it shouldn't have gone out much, but the first one was set 34 days ago (I remember setting the clock last reboot).. That's 30 seconds out a day so it fits with your observation.. That's running 3.0-970618-SNAP (SMP), the reference machine is a very stable router which (needs an upgrade!) is running 3.0-970209-SNAP (UP) So I guess I'm going to be putting xntpd on this machine to find out what's going on.. > Anyone seen this before? [Well, I saw it before I read your post, but only by coincidence was it ten minutes before.. but then my clock is wrong so who's judging which is before =)] Steve -- Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
