Setting the time with Samba

[Andrew Pollock <andrew@andrew.net.au>]

Hi,

I was being lazy, and was going to sync the time on my Windoze box against
my Linux box, using the "net time" command from a DOS box.

Here's what happened:

C:\WINDOWS>net time \\caesar
Current time at \\CAESAR is 5-26-2001 2:53A.M.
The command was completed successfully.

But on my Linux box:

caesar:/home/apollock# date
Sat May 26 17:56:20 EST 2001

I'm pretty sure I do have my hardware clock set to UTC (how can you
tell?), but even then:

caesar:/home/apollock# date --utc
Sat May 26 07:57:06 UTC 2001

So I'm at a bit of a loss to work out what's going on with respect to the
time differences.

The timezone on the Linux box is same as the Windoze box.

Any suggestions?

Andrew
