Synchronation between windows 2k and redhat linux

["Miguel González Castaños" <mgc@tid.es>]

Dear all,

 I have two linux servers in a LAN with a windows 2K domain.

 Due to a web application for booking facilities, we have suffered the
problems of having different times in our linux servers and in the
domain.

 As all our workstations get the net time from the PDC through SNTP, I
thought about the same from the linux servers. Because I didnt know
anything NTP, I had a look on the Internet to see some newsgroups and
webpages, but I didnt get the idea of how to sort this out.

 I installed the ntp client on one of my linux servers but obviously,
because We have SNTP and not NTP there is no possible connection. I
thought of just set the time of those linux servers on the respective
BIOSes, but I am trying first a more professional approach. Maybe I
should rethink the scenario and try other approaches: such as
synchronizing the PDC with my linux boxes...

 I just want to get any idea from you guys...

 Many thanks

 Miguel
