Hello,

I am trying to build something on a Linux client with the sources mounted
from a NetBSD 1.6.2 NFS server.  During the build, one file is created with
a timestamp from the clock on the Linux client.  Another file is created
with a timestamp from the clock on the NetBSD server.  Since the two clocks
are not in sync, this causes a build problem.

I understand I could just synchronize the clock on the Linux client to the
NetBSD server.

Just out of curiosity, how is it that a file that was created from the
Linux client has a timestamp from the clock on the NetBSD server?  Is there
an NFS mount option I should be using?

Thank you,

Ben
