Right. The commands for my little test were run from drawterm.

This morning, the output of 'date' from drawterm:

Sat Feb 11 10:00:01 EST 2006

then, after the walk downstairs to the server

Sat Feb 11 10:01:18 2006 + 0

I never set the time zone in the sources, so it reads
	conf.minuteswest = 8*60;

I recall having
some date problems when I built the fileserver, so I set
the time in the machine's bios to 8 hrs ahead of me
(I actually rebooted and double checked that),
and I'm pretty sure that, at some point I even
set the date on the file server using a seconds value.
I have the timezone set correctly on the
cpu server, so perhaps the combination of these things is
producing the strange result. Anyway, I botched it somehow.

Russ's other suggestion, 9fs boot; ls -l /n/boot, I'm
assuming I can just run at drawterm. I'm not sure what
to look for here. It produced this:

I don't know at this point. I have a bit of a virus, so I'm
even more confused than usual.

Thanks though.
