NTP is great. I agree with your implicit assumption that using a good
NTP service is helpful for Samba: The Kerberos authentication
necessary Active Directory style authentication is a vital component
of modern Samba. and it most definitely relies on a good time service
to keep remote hosts in sync. But it's the requirement for a *signed*
NTP service that I'm doubting. But your remote site, and yours should
be able to use publicly available NTP services. unless you really have
some compelling need to keep your NTP service completely private.
