[orbit-user] Time Issues on the Grid?

I received the following error on the grid:

ERROR NodeApp: tar: proj/linkMonitorETX.py: time stamp 2008-06-07 18:24:39
is 108074063.361408532 s in the future

for each file in my tarball.  Is this an error or a warning?

I'm guessing there is some time sync issues on the grid.  I saw on some of
the previous posts that the nodes run NFS.  I tried SSHing to several nodes
and checking the time on each node and noticed the nodes vary by a few
seconds from each other and they differ ~4 seconds from the console.  Is
there a way to force an NFS time sync on the nodes?  Or does the Orbit
library provide some time sync facility to be able to correlate events?

Thanks,
