Subject: Do we need NTP?


If I fire up a DOS box and enter the command:

  C:\WINDOWS\Desktop> net time \\HP979

it returns the following display:

  Current time at \\HP979 is 5/9/2001 hh:mm
  The command was completed successfully.

where hh:mm is the same as that displayed by SHOWTIME on the HP979

Adding the parameters '/set' and '/yes' to the above command makes my PC
clock = the HP979's clock.

Is this time being returned by Samba or is it being supplied from somewhere
else? If not from Samba then how do I find out where?

Curiouser and curiouser -- Alice in Wonderland.

Environment: Samba/iX 2.0.7 (from HP) running on a 979 and a Windoze 98se
