Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] new tcp analysis code. please test
Not a ccomment about the code, it's about your clock!
is it set ok?
the files in the tarball are newer than when I installed them each
time I make it compiles a lot more than needed.
[id-est:~/src/trunk] lego% touch now___; find . -newer now___; rm now___
./epan/dissectors/packet-socks.c
./epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c
./epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.h
[id-est:~/src/trunk] lego% ll ./epan/dissectors/packet-socks.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 lego lego 33012 Jan 25 22:12 ./epan/dissectors/packet-socks.c
[id-est:~/src/trunk] lego% date
Wed Jan 25 15:55:34 CET 2006
fixed it with
[id-est:~/src/trunk] lego% touch ./epan/dissectors/packet-socks.c
./epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.[ch]
