Sorry.  Thought I had replied already but apparently not.

Samba does not manipulate the time value at all.  It just
returns the value to the client at logon time.  So unless
I'm missing something here in the code, the value must be
stored in the client's timezone.  So your comment about
users not being able to logon 2 hours before the logon
end time makes sense.

Granted this is a bad design if you have clients set
in different timezones.






cheers, jerry
