Profiles in the wrong place

[Vern H. Gill]

Actually, this is not correct. I have both Win9x and NT boxes pull time from
Samba, as well as Mac's (Uughh!!) They all get the correct time with no
switches to NET TIME other than /set /y, or the appropriate options for the
SMB/NTP client on the Macintrash.

I believe that 9x machines store the time in the BIOS in local time
(DOS compatibility), while NT stores it in GMT.  Hence, when you pull
the time from the server, you get the GMT time, which 9x thinks is
local time.  Boom, five hours, right there.  Is there a switch for NET
TIME that can overcome this?
