[9fans] notes and traps

this is weird. So, to recap, your timezone is set correctly, and yet you are four hours off. A useful thing to do is cat /dev/time and see how it changes. The time from lguest is simple: you read a 64-bit # which is time. It's just like Xen that way. Also, try this to test another issue: date &
