Ususally AFS tries to keep clients within a couple of seconds of the
time on the server. The fact that many of the po's/mailhubs are off
by about 50s makes me suspicious that there is a something else wrong.
I'm guessing that these servers have ThisCell set to net.mit.edu, if
I'm wrong, you can ignore the rest of this. I don't know what all of
the net cell servers, but ceutus, at least also seems to be off by
about 50s. That could cause this problem. Of course none of this is
a really big deal, as long as they stay within 5 minutes of the right
time.
