I am fairly versed in the ways of Windows, but am a relative newbie as far as FreeBSD/Unix/Linux goes. So, rebuilding the program with debugging turned, may be a simple matter for you, but is quite a task for me. > > > >>The count column in the 192.168.2.119 increments >>every 4 seconds.

The latest version CVSup downloads is 2004 Oct. 15. I am not real familiar with how the FreeBSD ports work, but I would think that this fairly major bug you fixed would cause some updating of the ports so that newbies like me aren't spinning our wheels trying to get broadcastclient to work. http://Bugzilla.NTP.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267 I think that this is the tarball you are talking about, yes? ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617.tar.gz I tried to download it from UDel.edu, but their ftp server wouldn't let me on. I found it on the HTTP side: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/ Since I am familiar with FTP on FreeBSD, I needed to get it elsewhere. I found it in 3 other places: http://www.FileSearching.com/cgi-bin/s?q=ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617.tar.gz&t=f&d=&l=en I am not certain what to do with it on FreeBSD now that I have it. However, I'll dink around and see if I can update NTP on my computer. Thanks again for pointing me in the proper direction. I apologize for my lack of understanding. Hopefully, this post will help others as well. > >Danny > > >>Thanks for your help!! _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
