Sorry if this has been hacked around before.

I have a bunch of client machines to one Appleshare server. User 1 on
machine 1 creates a file, and then stores it on the server. Let's say
that the time in the _Last Modified_ field was 11:00 am.

User 1 looks at the file in the server by date and sees 11:00

User 2 on machine 2 looks at the same file several minutes later and
also sees 11:00. But then user 2 sees that the time on his machine is
wrong, and changes it (subtracts 1 hour) but DOESN'T reboot. User 2
then looks at the file on the server again, and still sees 11:00.

But then user 2 reboots. User 2 looks at the file a third time. Only this
time sees the last modified time at 10:00 rather than the 11:00 that he saw
before.

Is this right? The _Last Modified_ field for a file on the server depends
on the time on the client machine? Is there any way we can force the 
clients to use the server time to display the file rather than the client
time? Or are our machines just plain broke, and we don't know it?

Thanks,   --gregb
