Computer clock

[Guest]

We have over 100 computers in our building, not all of them are on the
internet. Most of the compuiters have restricted access so the end user can
not change the time. My question is, and it may be a simple answer, can I
create a small server on a computer that will keep all of the non-internet
computers time updated? In other words can I setup the end users computer to
look for a local computer on the network for the time instead of using
"time.nist.gov"?

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help
than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
