Interesting screwup case

I have a Raspberry Pi running Fedora.  They don't have a version of 
fake-hwclock in their collection.  So it came up with a bogus date/time.

That box was setup to use NTS on all its servers.  The certificate checks 
failed due to invalid dates.  All of them.  So the box was just sitting 
there, retrying the NTS-KE step occasionally.

Should we add a hack to do something like set the clock to the date from 
the drift file if it is before the build date?
