    There's a protocl known as "NTP" (Network Time Protocol); and there's
    an implementation of NTP which runs under BSD4.3 UNIX; however, I'm
    not sure where the "official sources" are.  It should run unmodified
    on SR10, but I haven't tried it yet.

I've been told that the bsd4.3 time daemon (timed) uses the adjtime()
system call, which is not implemented in sr10.  I suspect that you could
fix it to use settimeofday(), which is not as good since it doesn't
guarantee that time increases monotonically.  But it's still better than
having skewed clocks (clock-kabobs?).
