ptr->value should be set with getmicrotime() or microtime().  You can
then do a gettimeofday in userland to figure out the age.

I agree with you. Except that ptr->value is tcpcb->t_starttime which is being set in the kernel...
For the rest, see my other email that I forgot (but now did) sent to the group.


Thanks for the help though.
Jan
