That stuff was from me, and I don't run any AD.  I probably should have 
been more clear about my environment.  I have Windows for $WORK only, 
but all data and most activity is on Linux, shared via Samba workgroup. 
 There may be a better way to sync time for the 2 Windows machines, but 
since what I have has worked for me since forever I see no need to 
change it.  Certainly AD would be massive overkill and pain.

Anyway, glad Art figured it out.

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
