I posted this to the ipfiler mail list, but I thought I would see what you folks think. Don't know if this is a side effect of ipfilter... After compiling ipfilter 3.3.12 into my i386 FreeBSD 4.0 kernel, my computer's time starts to accelerate. Time holds steady when ipfilter is not compiled in. This trait also appeared on this box when I had FreeBSD 3.2 installed. I checked the BIOS time in the setup and it shows correct. If I reboot, FreeBSD gets its time from the bios and then slowly and surely the time accelerates. Currently as I write this the time is 19:30, 26Apr00, but on the box it shows 05:49 27Apr00. I'm not a programmer, so I would even begin to know how to read code, etc. I just know the results. If I remove ipfilter from the kernel and recompile, time does not accelerate. Anyone else have this happen? Could something else be conflicting when ipfilter compiles in. Computer specs: Micron P90 96MB ram FreeBSD 4.0 two nics two western digital drives Since this mail is going outbound through this box you should see the timestamp doesn't come close to the time I said it was.
