Perhaps I misunderstand. NTPD, in normal operation, changes the clocks by tiny amounts. As I read the problem, adjusting the clock backwards by ten microseconds would cause the snmp_select_info() call to not return until at least ten more microseconds had lapsed. This should hardly cause any real problem. Is the issue more severe than this? Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
