A Mysterious "system administration account" :)

The final consensus was that there isn't an obvious solution. The best
suggestion was to install patch 109409-04, which I will do.
I will add a final note that I didn't include in the original e-mail, that
makes this problem even weirder:
Slave has clients that sync to it ( This entire setup is a convoluted way
of getting around a firewall ). The clients that sync to Slave have the same
time as Master, but Slave, which sync's to Master doesn't. So Slave is
receiving the right time, and sending the right time, but it doesn't seem to
want to listen to itself.

Anyway, thanks for all those who took the time to answer.

Regards,
Ian
