How do I synchronise time? SCO 5.0.6 to W2000 1

I am running a SCO 5.0.6 server with SAMBA as a simple application server on a Windows network with W2000 on the Domain Controller and XP Pro on the workstations. I need to be sure that both servers are running at the same local time even when the clocks change and I do not trust both operating systems to reliably stay in sync without some help. Can anyone give me any hints on how the SCO box could ask the W2000 box what time it thinks it is and to set its own clock to match? or vice-versa? It is less important that they get the time right than they get it roughly the same!
 
Look for an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server for your Windows 2000 box, and use ntpdate on the SCO side. Annihilannic.
