I used Samba to make my FreeBSD box look like an NT domain member and set-up my Windows 2k workstations with: net time \\"FreeBSD box NETBIOS name" /s /u and have: # ntpdate time.apple.com cron'd on the FreeBSD box to update it's time daily (check Win Help on the net time switches, I set this up a while back, have never had to fiddle with it, so I might not have the syntax of the /s and /u switches correctly) Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT On Sat, 12 Jan 2002, Joe & Fhe Barbish wrote: > My LAN is full of winboxs?
