Hello, I am learning the freebsd way to keep the time up to date. We avoid to call hardware hardclock() every time we need a timestamp by applying some math. I get the idea. But, how do we know how far we are from the last hardclock()? Are the updates to the "fake" timestamps occuring at a constant rate? This is the last -and most important- point I don't get. Thanks --š Jog
