I noticed another bug and have opened a ticket about it and now I
understand this one is related to it. We sometimes saw a couple of users
with a huge Acct-Session-Time (more than 6 years) logged. Now I fully
understand the situation: when the Max boots, the date is set to the epoch
(which is in 1993 in 1994 for the Max, right?). So as far as the Max goes,
the users were logged in in 1993. A couple of seconds or minutes later,
NTP syncs up and the date is set to sometime in 2000. So as far as the Max
goes, those users were logged in for more than 6 years.
