While the system clocks are syncronized between the server and it's
clients, the access times are not the same on at least some files in /dev.
In particular,

        server% ls -l /export/root/client/dev/console
and     client% ls -l /dev/console

yield wildly different (more than several hours) results.  Is this a
feature?  Is there some way to mount the filesystem on the server or
client differently to prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance,
