I guess I am just perplexed. I realize that you have fixed it, but I don't know how to get a hold of that code. Here is a screen shot of the 'ifiter_ioctl.c' file taken from yesterday's ntp-dev version: http://www.US-Webmasters.com/Temp/NTP-broadcastclient-File-List.gif If the problem was fixed in March, as far as I can tell it didn't get included in this version because the file dates are mostly 2004 February 25. There is one file dated 2004 March 26, but according to what you indicated earlier the bug was contained in 'ifiter_ioctl.c': http://tinyurl.com/66see Danny, I am not trying to ruffle anybody's feathers, or cause problems--I am just trying to get my FreeBSD box to keep the correct time. I've spent the last 6 days primarily trying to get this to work. I thought it would be a half hour project. http://makeashorterlink.com/?O1DB32F29 Please have mercy on me and help me out. ;^) I am not a professional 'C' programmer so I don't really know where your code fix goes in the file.
