samba time question

[Jeffrey F. Goldsmith]

I am having a problem getting samba 3.0.5 to work on my HP-UX 11.i server. One of the problems is a time difference. Is ther a way to set the time within samba?

Are you getting the "Clock Skew too high" error message while joining the ADS domain using net ads join command ?

If yes, it is a known problem.

1) Set the TZ to GMT
2) Execute net ads join command
3) Set the TZ back to local time zone.

Hi Jeff,

We will have the clock skew problem fixed for the final release. Also, if you got a clock skew on your kinit, you may need to adjust your time on the KDC and/or CIFS Server.

On another topic - are you going to join your 2000 domain or your 2003? I recommend testing this on your 2000 domain, if possible. If not, and you are wanting to authenticate with krb5 with 2003, you need to set up for RC4-HMAC. Email me and we can get you set up to work.
