If the time difference is "12 seconds" I know I can retry in 15 seconds.
You like to live dangerously. :-)
Personally I just use NTP and configure proper time zones. It's been
many years since I encountered either of the situations that you
mentioned. Perhaps I lead a sheltered life.
You do :-). Sigh, what I wouldn't give for our IT to set up NTP, so we
don't have an NFS server convinced it is April 2023. (NFS, as you noted,
of course makes things even crazier, since timestamps bear no particular
relation to the local machine's idea of what time it is.)
I think I'm with Bruno; I wouldn't mind knowing (in clearer English)
when the NFS server's clock is completely out to lunch.
