Done this way Samba is out of the loop and time control is not a Samba issue. You are instead looking for an ntp service to sync with. Set up an ntp daemon on your server and all will be fine. > I *can* use the DOS command: net time \\172.16.15.4 /SET /y and the > clock > does sync to the server. This command would use Samba's time service (and not ntp) and could be put in a logon script if desired. However, since ordinary domain users cannot set the time it will generally fail with default permissions unless an administrator logs on. I generally use this in a script only for DOS based systems (Win9x, etc. which don't natively do ntp and have no priviledge issues) while keeping NT based systems (NT/2k/XP) ntp enabled.
