   We are encountering the following problem with our Sun-3s (SunOS 3.2):

	   One non-fileserver node has ranlib'ed /usr/xwindows/lib/libX*.a
	   X libraries, but exports /usr for NFS mount.

	   Other standalone disked nodes NFS mount the above node's
	   /usr/xwindows directory.

	   When someone tries to compile and link a program that uses
	   the NFS mounted X libraries, "ld" complains that they need
	   to be ranlib'ed.

   The workaround we're using is to make local (i.e., non-NFS mounted) copies
   of the X libraries and ranlib them locally.  However, I still want to know
   (1) why it doesn't work for NFS mounted directories, and (2) if it ought to
   work at all.

   Thanks in advance,
   Mike Khaw

This happens to me when the Suns disagree about what time it is.
