Hai,
Sorry to bother you again, however doing
ntpd -s
I got

True. A little addition for the archives (since it's been a while now):
$ date -r 86908

Oops. My bad. A better approach (combined with correct reading):
$ date -ur 0
Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 1970
$ date -ur 86908
Fri Jan 2 00:08:28 UTC 1970
So that would mean a little more than _one_day_ and eight minutes... No
wonder it would take a few months (I was surprised and not at all convinced
by my calculations). :-)
Remember that the ALIX.2/3 boards usually do not have a battery
to backup a realtime clock. Their clocks always start at 0 when
powered up, and 0 is the epoch, Jan. 1 1970. A mechanism like
ntpd -s is needed for those boards.
The ALIX.1B/C do have a battery, btw.
