a) Ability to set clock by net time ... don't depend on value of this
parameter on SAMBA server.
I don't know if Samba supports the call if you don't specify that.
But I do. It's wery simple test to verify it.
b) Ability to set clock by net time on NT and subsequent Windows is based
on system rights of current user, and so it is not sure to work.
Correct. Consumer Windows [95/98/Me] let you do it unconditionally.
OK. Win9x/ME have no security politics. My problem are NT, 2k, XP - user
account must be at least in Power Users group to be able to do it.
c) Setting clock during execution of login script is dependent on user
logging and then accurancy of clock depends on frequency of logging in.
Correct. And it's not very precise either. I think +/- 0.5 second is the
best you can expect, and it's probably not even that good. It's not NTP,
nor does it condition the system's clocks. You're better off using W32Time
for NTP, which comes built-in with Windows 2000, and is an easily obtained
download for Windows NT.
Yes, ntp is the solution, but my original question was what is purpose of
that fucking option ?!
