If you can ssh in, then you can check the date.  Something as simple as

  ssh remote date ; date

will run date commands there and here and should run them in close
sequence (it usually doesn't take long to close an ssh remote command).
But whatever.

Good enough (though there have been times that I've had to really badger
my admin to fix ntp when it falls over).


% ideas?  I haven't seen it last night, though.  And btw, when it was
% happening, touching said mailbox file make the Inc:1 disappear.

  ls -l --fulltime folderfile
  ls -lu --fulltime folderfile

to see the differences.  See if they make sense.
