The error is given as "Clock Skew". The configuration we have is such that the check is being run on an NFS mounted files system and we suspect that there is very slight time difference between the time on the host and the time on the filestore. From what we can see the difference is within acceptable limits. The host is a Sun Ultra2 and the filestore is be Network Appliance. Both the host and the filestore run SNTP to synchronise clocks from the same source. On odd occasions you can run the check and it passes but the success rate is less than 1 in 20 or more. I have attached the relevant details and would be grateful for you comments on effects this issue may have on a "make" and if necessary resolve it. I can also say that if the test is run from local disk on the same system it passes every time. Given there is a move to put store centrally either in a SAN or NAS type environment this is likely to become more of an issue especially if it causes "makes" to fail. (No proof of failures yet :-) ). The test does appear to complete correctly - it is just the clock skew that causes it to fail. <<gmake_parallel.tar.Z>> Thank you for your time.
