-<title>Compiling and installing Samba on a Unix host</title>

-<sect1>
-<title>My client reports "cannot locate specified share name" or similar</title>
-<para>
-This message indicates that your client CAN locate the specified
-server, which is a good start, but that it cannot find a service of
-the name you gave.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The first step is to check the exact name of the service you are
-trying to connect to (consult your system administrator). Assuming it
-exists and you specified it correctly (read your client's docs on how
-to specify a service name correctly), read on:
-</para>
-
-<simplelist>
-<member>Many clients cannot accept or use service names longer than eight characters.</member>
-<member>Many clients cannot accept or use service names containing spaces.</member>
-<member>Some servers (not Samba though) are case sensitive with service names.</member>
-<member>Some clients force service names into upper case.</member>

-<title>Why are my file's timestamps off by an hour, or by a few hours?</title>
-<para>
-This is from Paul Eggert eggert@twinsun.com.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Most likely it's a problem with your time zone settings.
-</para>

-<para>
-Internally, Samba maintains time in traditional Unix format,
-namely, the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 Universal Time
-(or ``GMT''), not counting leap seconds.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-On the server side, Samba uses the Unix TZ variable to convert
-internal timestamps to and from local time. So on the server side, there are
-two things to get right.
-<simplelist>
-<member>The Unix system clock must have the correct Universal time. Use the shell command "sh -c 'TZ=UTC0 date'" to check this.</member>
-<member>The TZ environment variable must be set on the server before Samba is invoked. The details of this depend on the server OS, but typically you must edit a file whose name is /etc/TIMEZONE or /etc/default/init, or run the command `zic -l'.</member>
-</simplelist>
-</para>
-
-<para>TZ must have the correct value.</para>
-
-<para>
-If possible, use geographical time zone settings
-(e.g. TZ='America/Los_Angeles' or perhaps
- TZ=':US/Pacific'). These are supported by most
-popular Unix OSes, are easier to get right, and are
-more accurate for historical timestamps. If your
-operating system has out-of-date tables, you should be
-able to update them from the public domain time zone
-tables at <ulink url="ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/">ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/</ulink>.
-</para>
-
-<para>If your system does not support geographical timezone
-settings, you must use a Posix-style TZ strings, e.g.
-TZ='PST8PDT,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2' for US Pacific time.
-Posix TZ strings can take the following form (with optional
- items in brackets):
-<programlisting>
- StdOffset[Dst[Offset],Date/Time,Date/Time]
-</programlisting>
- where:
-</para>
-
-<para><simplelist>
-<member>`Std' is the standard time designation (e.g. `PST').</member>
-<member>`Offset' is the number of hours behind UTC (e.g. `8').
-Prepend a `-' if you are ahead of UTC, and
-append `:30' if you are at a half-hour offset.
-Omit all the remaining items if you do not use
-daylight-saving time.</member>
-
-<member>`Dst' is the daylight-saving time designation
-(e.g. `PDT').</member>
-
-<member>The optional second `Offset' is the number of
-hours that daylight-saving time is behind UTC.
-The default is 1 hour ahead of standard time.
-</member>
-
-<member>`Date/Time,Date/Time' specify when daylight-saving
-time starts and ends. The format for a date is
-`Mm.n.d', which specifies the dth day (0 is Sunday)
-of the nth week of the mth month, where week 5 means
-the last such day in the month. The format for a
-time is [h]h[:mm[:ss]], using a 24-hour clock.
-</member>
-
-</simplelist>
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Other Posix string formats are allowed but you don't want
-to know about them.</para>
-
-<para>
-On the client side, you must make sure that your client's clock and
-time zone is also set appropriately. [[I don't know how to do this.]]
-Samba traditionally has had many problems dealing with time zones, due
-to the bizarre ways that Microsoft network protocols handle time
-zones.
