really, it would be a bit of a gimmick if you are serious though and implement some server and client softare - I'd be happy to host the downloads and deploy on 2038bug.com > But as long as you and I continue to operate our own law-defiant NTP > servers which serve our realization of Earth time instead of the s**t > that ITU peddles, those nature-loving people who wish to live their > personal lives on mean solar time can simply choose to point their own > ntpd instances at our servers instead of those following the ITU - > problem solved. well the number of user's we are likely to accrue would be small - most people that use NTP need their servers to stay within a few milliseconds of everyone else - that is *why* they use NTP. -paul _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
