L-M 6.0, upgraded Samba to 2.0.5a via the mandrake update tool.
Any files which Linux creates on a mounted disk from NT have really weird
dates assigned to them. Often they are pre-1950, but sometimes in the future
as well!
Also, when using tar to backup the mounted NT drive, I get the message:
"tar: Octal value '767322036300' is out of range for time_t"
and many of the files are not added to the archive. The number given in the
message above is an example, as many different but similar numbers are
reported for various files. Since NT only seems to want to backup to a tape
drive (which I don't have!), Linux seems like an obvious backup tool :-(
Are any others experiencing this problem? If so, and ideas for a fix? I have
looked at the various docs that came with samba, but can't see anything that
looks relevant.
I used Samba under RH5.2, but didn't see this problem, but that was
obviously an earlier version of Samba.
Amy offers?
Thanks.
