Help?? Struct packing of Date time not has stopped working??!?!

[Klaus Baldermann]

Following up my own posting :-)

I just tried the following script:

# check time server
import telnetlib, sys, time
connection = telnetlib.Telnet()
line = ''
host = sys.argv[1]
count = 0
check = {}
while count < 1000:
    connection.open(host, 37)
    line = connection.read_all()
    connection.close()
    count = count + 1
    try:
        check[len(line)] = check[len(line)] + 1
    except:
        check[len(line)] = 1
    time.sleep(0.7)
c1 = check.keys()
c1.sort()
for i in c1:
    print i, check[i]


and the result was:

3 11
4 989

I assume our (intranet) time server doesn't use Python, so it is probably
not your server script at fault.
And to find out more, one would have to capture the server output to see
which values are
pathological.
