nailhead # ntpdate time.apple.com
15 Aug 23:54:57 ntpdate[22961]: step time server 17.254.0.27 offset -131984.081641 sec

131984.081641 seconds in the future, huh? Guess the flux capacitor still has hiccups there. I’m working on a fix, but all I can think of requires a reboot, which I’m not going to do right now. Stay tuned.
