Maybe we can move mc146818rtc.h to lwip, or create a new server > (because pfinet and lwip are for TCP/IP), or there is a server which > should handle accessing rtc. Yes, that sounds like it should be a new server whose binary will be installed at /hurd/rtc. Generally, having more small, isolated userland servers is a good thing, we're a microkernel system :) Sergey
