Seeing as I already own a copy of OnNet32, my issue was not with the
absence of a "net time" command, which Samba *does* support from the
Windows client.
However, I'm not sure that you can do it from the Unix end. However, my
submittal was "Why?!?". You don't need it from Unix.

That's what the other guy wanted, it is not what I was looking for. However
Scott Armstrong sent me the reference for Tardis and I downloaded it. It is
exactly what I wanted. It basically, give WinNT the same level of SNTP
support that Unix enjoys.

This is soooo much bettter than "net set time"  XNTP is freeware and Tardis
is only $20, $40 for site license.
