Yes, I did. I even ran the testparm utility after restarting Samba just to make sure that it took. Sure enough, Samba reported the time server = NO (the default). I set my local machine to about 6 hours in the future, logged out, then back in, and my clock was reset to the correct time. I have no idea what this parameter does. I have two docs right here in front of me that specify that the time server parameter "If set to YES, will provide time service to clients." The smb.conf man doc is very vague about the parameter. I put a post into the samba development mailing list, more to satisfy my curiosity about this issue. However, as Charlie points out, Samba will do time sync on machines by simply putting "net time //server /set" in the netlogon.bat file. Who know.....
