Or you could setup and second samba server on the same machine using the
latest main distribution code.  Configure no shares and #define
GUEST_SESSETUP 2 in local.h (aside...I know about didling with this but
if there are no shares to worry about IMHO it should be OK ).  

This will allow you to perform a 'net time \\server /set /yes' as the
local / domain admin on the NT box but not have to log in to the samba
server.  You will have to set 'encrypt passwords = yes' but don't have
to create an smbpasswd file because everyone will be validated as guest
anyway.


Make sense?
