I also have noticed the clock behavior on Suns. In particular:
machine account clock broken?
-------------------------------------
zanshin test Y
zanshin adamico Y
dale test N
dale adamico N
prowler adamico Y
Looking at versions, it appears that all the machines that exhibit
this behavior went from 9.2 straight to 9.3.6, while machines that
don't took some earlier version of 9.3. This is true for Kevin's
tests as well.

This appears to be related to individual machines. I can reproduce this
problem with my account on mrow.mit.edu (my personal machine) and
cruella-de-vil.mit.edu (OLC machine), but not bart-savagewood.mit.edu
(SIPB machine). I can also reproduce it with two test accounts on
mrow.mit.edu, though these accounts don't have remote access to the OLC
and SIPB machines, so I wasn't able to test that.
