NTP services

There is a service available from Microsoft's web site called "W32TIME" which is designed to let a windows domain controller participate in NTP time functions. It installs to run as a service. W32TIME will work for NT server or workstation - Win2000 includes it as part of the NET TIME command which can be found in the windows help.

Exchange access for linux

TradeClient 0.2beta released. Bynari International has announced the final pre-release of its TradeClient email client and personal information manager. Tradeclient is aimed at people accustomed to or currently using Microsoft Exchange. TradeClient is released under the LGPL. Note that a proprietary product, Bynari TradeXCH, is required in order to connect Tradeclient to Microsoft Exchange. Apparently the project is now open source and hosted by sourceforge: http://tradeclient.sourceforge.net/

DHCP

If you are using a unix DHCP server, some goof is going to plunk an NT box with RAS running on your network, (which can be turned off by switching off connection sharing), and it's going to ask for two extra IP addresses using the same name as the first. You can recognize these requests and doe something intelligent (like deny them) with whis stanza in your dhcpd.conf file

class "ras-servers" {
   match if substring (option dhcp-client-identifier, 1, 4) = 52:41:53:20;
}
