timedc> c ftp.apple.com ftp.apple.com will not tell us the date time on ftp04.apple.com is 356793 ms. behind time on nexgen.hiwaay.net timedc> c ftp.sgi.com time on ftp.sgi.com is 34 ms. behind time on nexgen.hiwaay.net Why is it timedc insists a host will not tell it the date, then actually reports it. Except: if the remote host is running SGI Irix, all is fine. Same result from SGI to non-SGI host as shown above for FreeBSD to non-SGI. Didn't timed and timedc originate at SGI? Normally I run xntpd and ntpq, but its interesting to use timedc to check time against random hosts. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
