Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your reply.
Sound like what you've said is correct.
Could it not be that the values being stored are in GMT and that's why my
clients (Windows XP) who are in the SAST timezone (GMT+2) cannot log on two
hours before they would normally not be able to ?
My Samba server and all clients are all set in the same timezone. (SAST).
Perhaps it's the NT User Manager running on XP that is perhaps not picking
up the correct timezone of the XP desktop when we set the logon hours ?
Perhaps the NT User Manager believes it's in GMT ?
A shot in the dark ? :)
Kind regards

Sorry. Thought I had replied already but apparently not.

Samba does not manipulate the time value at all. It just
returns the value to the client at logon time. So unless
I'm missing something here in the code, the value must be
stored in the client's timezone. So your comment about
users not being able to logon 2 hours before the logon
end time makes sense.
Granted this is a bad design if you have clients set
in different timezones.
cheers, jerry
