(sounds stupid) If you've got a BSD system, then you should make sure timed uses adjtime(2) instead of settime(2). adjtime(2) will adjust the time by slowing or increasing clock updates (more or less, I am not going into a lot of detail, ok?). Some non-BSD systems may have it, so you might want to check your system to make sure. -- -----------------+ Sean Eric Fagan | "*Never* knock on Death's door: ring the bell and seanf@sco.COM | run away!
