NTP and win2k

[Robert Meyer]

Check out a program called 'tardis'.  Apparently, it's online that you can
download and install.  It runs as a service (which eliminates the user
permission problem) and seems to be working here on our proxy server.

This information comes from the resident Win2K expert at Praxair.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!
