From manual:

Issue:    Synthetic Time
     What is Synthetic Time?  NetWare 4.1 returns the message on
     the server console "Synthetic Time is being issued on
     partition <x>" when the server time has been set backwards.
     Directory Services uses the server time to timestamp
     objects.  Synthetic time is issued in order to prevent
     objects from being time stamped incorrectly.  This message
     is simply informational and will disappear when the server
     time catches up with the partition time stamps.  To expedite
     this, the System Administrator can ensure that the server
     time is correct and then rebuild replicas.  This is done in
     NetWare 4.1 by running DSREPAIR.NLM, choosing "Advanced
     Options menu," then "Replica and partition operations,"
     choosing the partition that contains the "bad" timestamp,
     and then running the option "Repair Time Stamps and Declare
     a New Epoch."  Be aware that rebuilding replicas will copy
     the Master replica over all other replicas.  Be sure that
     you are not replacing a "good" copy of the partition with a
     "bad" copy.
