I'm sorry to have to get back to you so late, but I've been reviewing
your changes via Amitay 'machine' doesn't make much sense here - it
sounds like it could apply to the local machine, or a remote one, and
isn't clear.  Particularly now that getpassword has (correctly) been
ditched, gettime seems oddly formed.  May I propose instead:

server
     time
     (and in the future:)
     reboot
     join (joining a remote server to a domain - samba3 can do this)
     shutdown

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
