Hi Kent,

I'm going back through my archives of debian-user and found your post
with no public replies.

I use ntpdate on Woody pointed at a Windows 2000 Server box (acting as a
Domain Controller) and it pulls the time okay.  I wonder if there's an
extra service that you might need to enable on the Win2k box?
