Hey Roland.  I'm sorry.  Every time I sit down to respond,
I get distracted and the reply gets stuck in my drafts folder.

The comments auth/auth_sam.c:logon_hours_ok() indicate that
the logon hours are specified in the server's local time.
But the comparsion converts the current time to gmtime()
first.

Here's the svn commit message

$ svn log -r11886

Fix 3187: logon hours restrictions were off corresponding to
our offset from GMT.  Use gmtime() instead of localtime() in
the calc, but still use localtime() in displaying it.
