I would like to configure a linux ntp server on my lan as the ntp server for
my windows xp clients
I'm not able to come to an understandable solution (due probably to my lack
in windows knowledge)
I found this in samba archives:
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY !!Time
POLICY !!NTPServer
KEYNAME SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
PART !!NTP_SERVER EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "NtpServer"
END PART
PART !!SERVERTYPE EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "type"
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY ; Time
[Strings]
Time="Time Servers"
NTPServer="NTP Server"
NTP_SERVER="NTP Server address"
SERVERTYPE="Server Type (ntp)"
Can anyone explain how to practically use then it?
I'm using reg2adm from novell web site
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13885.html
but it hangs trying to import this. And I don't have apparently system
policy editor (is it the same as gpedit.msc??)
- what parts to substitute with real values
- how to import/load the resulting file
- how to configure winxp client: configure to start automatically "Windows
time" service?
- users don't have admin privileges and cannot change time on their win xp
clients. One with admin privileges when double clicking hour at bottom
right,
then selecting label "internet time" what is expected to see after
configuring what above?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
