The time on nfs1 is drifing badly.  It is currently 1m8s fast.

In an NFS environment keeping system clock time in sync between client
and servers is a critical requirement.  Having them out of sync causes
many very strange problems that are hard to debug.  Been there.  Done
that.  System clock time being out of sync is one of the things I
routinely check now when I am looking at anything related to nfs.

I can see in the logs that although ntp has been installed a few times
that it always gets removed.  I am installing it again.  I'll mark it
'hold' so that it sticks around.

Thanks!
Bob
