Hello, yesterday I got involved into a problem at work that affected our SuSE boxes running SAMBA. Since I am a linux advocat, I've been asked by our sysop, but also I found a solution, I realised that I didn't understand the question. ;-) Out machines ran fine until we changed to a timeserver that is used to synchronise time. The problem seems to be the daylight saving, our system time is always CEST (Central European Summer Time). The time is OK on the system. All time stamps (file creation) bear the right time. If we create a file via SAMBA, the time is 1 hour off. The samba FAQ talks about wrong time settings on Windows or misconfiguration of time zones on the Un*x bos. There is a global "time offset" parameter that can be used to fix it. (that works) I found all these timezone Information that I found most confusing, question that remains is how to set the system time in a fashion "I don't care about daylight saving, I got a timeserver that tells me what time it is". And use this time for SAMBA, of course.
