Patch integration was sketchy back then, so I am not surprised that it was never included. I can polish up my patch again and add NTP, TFTP and WPAD support, if there's enough demand for it. The patch would not be very large anyway, so the "lots of extra code" argument applies only a little ;) JJK -----Original Message----- Adding ntp might ben ice: It would open the way to do Kerberos for road-warriors, which is rather picky about synchronized time.
