NTP server

[Shawn Dunn]

Actually, Debian/Sarge, and I get the following message when attempting 
to get my time synchronization from it:

fairlane:~# ntpdate falcon
13 Jan 06:17:18 ntpdate[6831]: adjust time server 192.168.88.1 offset 
0.432622 sec
fairlane:~# date
Sun Jan 13 06:17:47 PST 1935

Now that isn't right, heres what the server thinks the date is:

falcon:/etc/init.d# date
Fri Jan 31 09:33:09 PST 2003

Is this a configuration problem?  or is my machine just hosed?
