Hello,
I have a client with a windows utility that relies on "touch"ing
(changing the mod time) on zero-length files in a folder for the purpose
of judging when that folder was last accessed. This works fine for him
on mapped windows servers, and from the local disk, but from a Samba
(v3.0.22) volume, the mod time doesn't change unless there was an actual
data change within the file. (ie, clicking "save" in notepad doesn't
change the mod time unless he enters some data first.). I know this
seems pretty trivial, but it seems to make all the difference for some
backup and SCADA software packages.
Any ideas what I could do to fix this?
This is what the smb.conf looks like:
[global]
security = user
netbios name = Server1
server string = Server1
workgroup = WG
comment = File Server
os level = 1
create mode = 771
force create mode = 771
directory mode = 771
force directory mode = 771
force user = administrator
force group = users
map to guest = Bad User
null passwords = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam, smbpasswd
case sensitive = No
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
template shell = /bin/bash
dont descend = /proc,/dev,/etc,/usr
winbind cache time = 10
log level = 1
max log size = 2000
[Public]
writeable = yes
only user = yes
write list = @Public
path = /home/users/Public
comment = Public Share
valid users = @Public
user = @Public
Thank you!
