w command strangeness

Hi all,

When I issue the w command the output I get is:


# w
18:47 up 1 day, 22:49, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
User tty from login_at_ idle JCPU PCPU what
keith p0 snow-white 17:21 441days w


Notice that the idle time is 441 days and the J and PCPU are not
reported. What could be causing this? The system one of several 255
workstations running DU 4.0a, diskless using bootp to boot. The bootp
server shows none of these symptoms.

On another note when one of the servers boots sometimes it reports
"Preposterous TOD" and the system clock loses time from minutes to a
day.

Thanks for your help.
