Mike. I was thinking wholesale replacing the gettimeofday() call used by net-snmp with a software maintained clock that's not affected by linux system time (basically a up counter started at bootup). Would it work if I don't mind timestamps not matching the wall clock? I sort of suspect things are not so simple though...

I see there is a > "HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY" switch, but it doesn't do anything. 2 ways: - Reboot. - (recommended) Don't do that. If you plan to remotely manage your time machine, you'll probably have to write everything from scratch, as ten-month jumps into the past are not within the design scope of any software I have ever encountered.
