How do I synchronise my PCs clock with my Samba server?
To syncronize your PC’s clock with your Samba server: • Copy timesync.pif to your windows directory • timesync.pif can be found at: http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/binaries/miscellaneous/timesync.pif • Add timesync.pif to your ‘Start Up’ group/folder • Open the properties dialog box for the program/icon • Make sure the ‘Run Minimized’ option is set in program ‘Properties’ • Change the command line section that reads \\sambahost to reflect the name of your server. • Close the properties dialog box by choosing ‘OK’ Each time you start your computer (or login for Win95) your PC will synchronize its clock with your Samba server. Alternativley, if you clients support Domain Logons, you can setup Domain Logons with Samba – see: BROWSING.txt *** for more information. Then add NET TIME \\%L /SET /YES as one of the lines in the logon script.
