[Samba] Re: Logon Hours problems (really stuck)

Hi guys,

Unfortunately this is still happening I've tried restarting Samba. Users who 
should be denied access after 21:00 are being denied access at 19:00.

Our time zone in South Africa is GMT+2. Perhaps I should set the timezone on 
the server to UTC/GMT ?
Do you think this will help ? Should I then leave the time set to the 
current time in South Africa ? Or should I set the time to the time at 
UTC/GMT ?

There's something I must be missing here.

Kindest regards
David Wilson
