Okay, I have a lotta questions.... TIA.

Hmmm... does anyone else have trouble with ntp over a firewall? I have
an ISDN modem with filter rules: I can get 'ntpdate -uv' over it but not
without the -uv: ntpd doesn't seem to have the same options. Will I have
to actively route port 123 over the ISDN router?

WinXP does have an internet time sync option. It turned up its nose at
my ntpd, though -- perhaps because ntpd couldn't connect to any other
ntpd server.

Also, heh, the Samba time server option says it advertises itself as a
time server. Does anyone have a tip as to what that means, exactly?

And I read that Samba 2.99/3.0 has support for Windows groups? Is this
anything amazing for us mortals, or does this really only start to count
when you have massive *nix/Windows installations?
