I actually want NT and '95 to synch with a time server and know
that NT can do that with AboutTime (but I can't run it as a service)
so I'd prefer to get my linux server to synch with an ntp server and
provide the synch for the company.

If samba is the way to do it, then I'll go that route - but I wouldn't
mind retaining samba for its file and print sharing.

nb: couldn't see the lines in smb.conf relating to time servers on
RH6.1 - what am I missing?
