Re: Synchronation between windows 2k and redhat linux

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

Hi,

 Thanks for your promptly answer.

 I am considering that possibility, but I didnt want to bother the Windows
admin. I have
read some about rdate, but is it reliable and secure? I read some comments not
recommending it...
 Which approach would be better? To sync the PDC with any of my linux boxes or
use rdate?

 Many thanks

 Miguel
