Up and running doesn't mean it "works" and that clients can contact it. If you have not SPECIFICALLY taken a non W2K client and done an explicit NTP sync that you can verify worked, and/or done a complete capture of a successful NTP session, I don't think you're actually verified that NTP works. --- IMO, this pursuit seems really crazy - like you want to do nothing to mitigate things on your end, and want the Samba folks to support a long-dead client without any mitigation or changes on the long-dead client end. ALL W2K support ended in July 2010! [Nearly three YEARS ago!] Non extended support [i.e. non-security related support] ended in 2005! Yes, 2005! So, expecting it all to work without very substantial changes on the client side seems pretty demanding, at least IMO. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
