[Samba] Purpose of param. "time server" ?

[Fernando Pintabona]

It is in fact for that.
NTP syncs time in Unix. "time server = yes" tells SAMBA to be a time
server for win workstations.
Then, you should use "net time \\server /set /yes" in netlogon scripts
to sync your workstations' time with the one of the SAMBA server.
