AFS doesn't set the time at all; it only adjusts it, and that in
finite increments. There's not a bug here. I assume that AFS will
continue to adjust time as usual on the Sparc 5...

I'm going to be fixing init.d/athena to run gettime from the proper
location.

Sigh.

Actually, we don't run timed under Solaris because it doesn't work
well. I'm still assuming that AFS does what it's supposed to.
