Today on a 4.3BSD host, I noticed the error message timed[110]: no more slots in host table in /usr/adm/messages. This condition occurs when the master timed is trying to sync the clocks for more than 100 slaves (eek!). Without looking seriously at the code, it seems that this condition is basically ignored by timed (it looks like there are some bugs in dealing with this condition, because timed completely ignores the fact that it can't master anymore, but that's another story). What I'm interested in is that what does the poor slave do when this condition occurs? Is it told (or at least, is it supposed to be told)? Can it go find someone else to master for it, or is it left to tick all by itself? thanks, Dave Cohrs -- Dave Cohrs +1 608 262-6617 UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department dave@cs.wisc.edu ...!{harvard,rutgers,ucbvax}!uwvax!dave
