- | Your rtnetd man page must have come from some other computer vendor.
- | Ours says:
- |
- | Rtnetd is a kernel daemon that allows higher-priority real-time processes
- | to preempt processing of incoming network packets. Preemption gives
- | better response for real-time processes.

- Oops you're right. Should spend more time reading manuals and less reading news.
- But what about the original question ? ie that it seems nfsd daemons under
- irix4.0+ now accumilate lots more cpu time, and that nullrecv is allways some
- enormous meaningless number ( on multi-cpu machines only ).
