Minor nitpick - Forum time is off
Noticed this as I was checking new replies and wondered how a post I just made showed up as having been posted ten minutes before I actually posted it. Checked the local time at the top of the page, and it turns out that indeed the forum's time is about 10 minutes behind the clock. You most make an update.

Hmm, looks like the time server the system was using failed to resolve a while ago.  Rather impressive that the clock hasn't drifted any further since then. 

But if your posts are showing up as 10 min in the past, can I give you a call and have you post the winning lottery numbers?  10 minutes should be enough time to buy a ticket before they are drawn...  No?  Fine, be that way...  Since you are so bleeding picky....  ;)

Fixed and confirmed that the time is accurate.

(I commented the config for the ntp daemon for those who care as to what I did.  I don't know the general feeling about posting things like config changes to the public areas, so I don't do it by default.)

POSIX is fine, as is Rev or RP

"Although generally it is considered a no no to disagree with a mod since it's pretty much equivalent to kicking an unpaid janitor in the nuts while he's busy cleaning up somebody elses vomit and then telling them how bad they are at cleaning it up cause you can smell it down the hall." - Dennis, Home Improvement Moderator @ DSL Reports
