in reply to localtime off?

This may seem somewhat along the lines of a tech support dude saying, "Um, is it plugged in?", but here goes anyway:

Um, is the system's clock accurate?

If you type date at the command prompt (assuming a unix or linux system) is it also off by 18 minutes and 10 seconds?

    well, thanks all, for the quick replies!! i had figured that it was probably a problem at the server end........i had just never encountered this before (spoiled, i guess).

    just was wondering if i was overlooking something stupid.

    thanks for reassuring me! jck
