I have a shared directory on a Windows 2003 Server platform. I have a Linux (RedHat 7.3) platform accessing the shared directory as a SMB mount. The system clocks on the two platforms are not fully synchronised - they are out by a few minutes.
Using the Linux platform, if I touch a file in the shared directory then the file's Modified and Accessed timestamps are both set according to the current time on the Linux platform. I might expect these timestamps to be set instead to the current time on the server platform - this is what I have seen in a similar configuration using NFS. To investigate further I use a third machine running Windows 2003 Server (again not time synchronised with the server). Using this platform, if I touch a file in the shared directory then the file's Modified and Accessed timestamps are both set according to the current time on the *server*. This is the behaviour I am looking for. Does anyone know if I can configure the SMB client running on the Linux platform to behave the same as the Windows 2003 SMB client, i.e. I want my timestamps to be set according to the current time on the server as opposed to the client. Thanks in advance for any help. Richard. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
