Hello,

We are seeing time problems caused by the AFS NT client again since we have
gone into Daylight Savings Time.  It appears to be that copying a file from
an AFS replication RO volume to the local NTFS volume shows file times to be
off by 1 hour.  We saw this last year also.  We are currently running AFS
Patch level 6.  Its funny because copying the file from the replicated RW
volume sets the time correctly.  This is causing quite a bit of annoyance
since we keep our machines updated by determining file changes using last
write times.

To see this in action simply copy a file using the command shell copy
command, or explorer, to "c:\", then check the times on the files.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
Are any fixes in the works?

Note:  I also do quite a bit of NT development work and I noticed that the
GetFileTime API call, which by the way returns a 64 bit number, is also off
by 1 hour.  The standard C 'stat' call returns the correct number.

Help is appreciated...

Thanks,

Rodney
