What a pain. :-(

Under Win95, each user's setup script had this:

  net time \\cares /set /yes

Now, under WinXP, things are a bit more squirrely. All the employees are
set up with Power User accounts. This means that the net time command is
unusable, as you need Admin privs to change the time. Is there a way to
make this work directly from Samba (2.2.3), or should I try installing
the nettime package to run as an NT Service to keep the time aligned
from ntpd? Thanks.
