I don't think anybody disputes that. The current argument seems to consist of you claiming that the tolerance be on the order of one second, for reasons you have not provided any hint off, but want to start a red-tape commision on. The rest of us have no trouble with a tolerance of up to (at least) one hour, because that's what is already the reality for 99.9..% of the population. I'm still looking for the "poster boy" reason for your 1sec tolerance claim. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
