What were you trying to do?
	use my machine


What went wrong?
	time was all over the place.  my machine seems to be gaining
	about 2s/m which is about twice what afs is willing to deal
	with.


What should have happened?
	My workstation should keep better track of the time.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	I killed xntpd and it didn't seem to help, although it did
	seem to be returning some weird values to xntpdc, but that may
	have been an effect, not a cause.
