My system's clock gets adjusted to the network timeservers' values once per hour. I've checked the logs and found that the each adjustment has been less than 71 ms during this time. So the question is why are the authorities putting out new certificates with valid time periods beginning six or more hours in the future? Also, when will the authorities be corrected?
These aren't directory authorities. These are just random relays that you're connecting to who have clocks more than an hour off, and an over-active log message.

This is the alpha Tor, with a shiny new (and still somewhat sharp-around-the-edges) v3 link handshake. I'm glad this one doesn't crash, like the last one did. :)
