I'm actually trying to un-learn emacs and get used to vi... ;) But
anyway, M-x display-time only shows minutes. Could it be made to show
seconds?

A clock that would take over the terminal, like the 'watch -n1 date'
solution suggested by other posters, is OK. Having the time display in a
modeline or other appropriate area while I'm using the xterm would be an
added bonus.
What I have is a lot of machines I'm administering via ssh, and what I
need is a way to check the system clocks that isn't a snapshot like
'date'.
