....well, as I predicted it just happened with all updating shut off in
my 2.6.1 install. I'll let it happen a few more times, then I'll write a
formal bug. I can't think of anything overt that could be going on to
cause the call for my Master.
Rufus, I note that you are using a Mac....Could it be that it's phoning
home to check for system updates??? Do Mac's do this like Windows???
Yes they do but you can in Software Update to check at specified time
interval.
I have mine set fot once a week.
But there are other things that will cause polling. For instance Apple
use a Time Server such a www, the old shortwave radio time server tied
to the Nuclear Time clock. Have no idea whether PC use a Time server.
But the software polls the server at least once an hour to sync the
time. And it works with an clock widget or software they take their
time from the system clock.
If you have any type of weather software That polls a server at least
every half hour.
So there are a lot of things That can cause your computer to Phone home
or poll a server.
