Don't feel bad, I've had nothing but frustration in trying to get my LM7.2 server to have the hardware clock set to GMT and have samba act as a timeserver and serve the correct time to WinXX clients. The problem I experience is the exact same thing you describe. If I set the hardware clock to GMT and zoneinfo to CST (where I live) all windows clients get sent time that is +5 hours (or +6 daylight time) ahead of what the actual time is. It seems a time offset is getting applied either twice or once in the wrong direction. I still owe Bartlett a level 10 debug of this problem, but I have been snowed under in my real job and haven't had time to jack with this in the past month or so. I have posted numerous messages several months ago on this issue that contain quite a bit more detail of the phenomenon, but that's where I am on this issue now.
