Understood.

In some cases, I seem to be having problems with
the FreeBSD ports if the file date is not exactly
what was expected.

I guess I am just perplexed.  I realize that you have
fixed it, but I don't know how to get a hold of that
code.

Here is a screen shot of the 'ifiter_ioctl.c' file
taken from yesterday's ntp-dev version:

If the problem was fixed in March, as far as I can 
tell it didn't get included in this version because 
the file dates are mostly 2004 February 25.  There
is one file dated 2004 March 26, but according to 
what you indicated earlier the bug was contained 
in 'ifiter_ioctl.c':

Danny, I am not trying to ruffle anybody's feathers,
or cause problems--I am just trying to get my
FreeBSD box to keep the correct time.  I've spent
the last 6 days primarily trying to get this to
work.  I thought it would be a half hour project.

Please have mercy on me and help me out.  ;^)

I am not a professional 'C' programmer so I don't 
really know where your code fix goes in the file.

Regards,

W. D.
