When voting on the time, another piece of information which almost
everyone has at their disposal is the reference date of certain files
which must be accessed when the system is run.  This can be used as an
error check against the propogation of bad times (which has happenned
occasionally on our local network). Network (or other) times preceeding
the file date are probably bogus.
