Ah, thanks John (and others). You are correct... it is just a fileserver. I hadn't realised that just connecting to a share was not the same as logging in (I'm quite new to Linux/Samba). So I will now look at whether I need to set it up as a domain controller or if I will just leave a batch file in a common directory for users to sync their clocks when needed.
Again, many thanks for your assistance.

Exactly. [netlogon] must be a file share defined on your samba server. Then you need to put the logon script somewhere in that share, so that client PCs can connect to [netlogon] to access it. >My smb.conf "Globals" section is:- You can't use the "login script" unless users are actually "logging on" to the server. Perhaps I'm missing something, but this doesn't look like a domain controller (or win9x logon server) configuration to me. It looks like an ordinary fileserver setup. Connecting to a share on a fileserver is not "logging in". --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
