This means that users may not be able to access the network at the times designated by the network Administrator. Users may also have access to the network at times that they should not. DST.EXE is a DOS based utility that allows the network Administrator to shift a users time up or down in 30 minute increments to accomodate the time change due to day light savings time. ----------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER THE ORIGIN OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TO NOVELL.
