Easy, just read the docs:
i) you need %0S instead of %S to parse sub-seconds components
ii) you need to tell R to print sub-second components.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ r -e 'posixt <- strptime("2007-12-11 17:09:53.824123",
"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS"); options("digits.secs"=6); print(posixt)'
[1] "2007-12-11 17:09:53.824123"
This used littler, but it's the same for R. I set
options("digits.secs"=6)
in my ~/.Rprofile/
