Hi Danny, just stumbled across your email in one of my email folders, but I didn't see your reply on the news servers. So once again, looks likes emails to the questions list are not gatewayed to the news group.

Yes, but what about the domain members? If you install ntpd on them and configure them correctly I'd expect them to work properly. However, we have customers with a huge number of clients. In fact, I'd expect that especially installations with many clients run a domain, simply to reduce administrator efforts. I've often heard those guys don't want to install ntpd on every client simply because they do not want to touch each individual client. > However the one issue you might have > is that the reference implementation does not provide MSNTP > authentication except on a Samba server which does not run on Windows > and in fact the Samba authentication customization is not designed to > run on Windows.

Yes, that's even kind of funny: ntpd supports MS-style authentication, but only on non-Windows systems ;-)) Martin -- Martin Burnicki Meinberg Funkuhren Bad Pyrmont Germany _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
