calcru negative-time messages

I have searched high and low for help with these negative-time calcru messages...there is scant information out there, mostly a paragraph in the troubleshooting section of the FreeBSD docs. Most folks following the instructions there on later versions of FBSD seem to not be successful in getting

I am still unable to get rid of these on my 5.2 installation running on AMD K6-2 450 MHz hardware. FBSD 4.9 ran just fine on this box with nary a hiccup. I am ruling out faulty hardware as the culprit as I test loaded 4.9 back on the system yesterday and saw not a one of the above messages. The

Hi all, In the process of debugging my SAMBA installation, I discovered I've compiled SAMBA v 2.2.8a on my 4.8 RELEASE box. The 2.2.8a is listed in the ports collection as being for 4.8 STABLE, while 2.2.8 is for RELEASE. Should I uninstall and make the 2.2.8 or just leave things as they are?
