Right, "net time" uses the smb protocol to set the clock from a Windows (Samba) server. If rockhopper is running Samba, this should work.
My XP Pro system has an "internet time" option in the "Date/Time properties" window that can be used with a Linux system, but I don't recall which time protocol it uses. There are three: ntp (port 113), time (port 37), and daytime (port 13). ntpd provides ntp time service. The other two are provided by inetd if you enable them in inetd.conf. There are after market time clients also. > -----Original Message----- > From: James Melin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 9:56 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [LINUX-390] XNTP providing time source to Windex 2003 server > > > The windex folks are trying to get windows 2003 server to get > the time from > my Linux box 'rockhopper' using the net time command from > within a shell. > > the command and results are this: > > H:\>net time \\rockhopper > System error 5 has occurred. > > Access is denied. > > > They are telling me it has to be an authentication issue with > Linux.
