[cobalt-users] Samba date stamp problem on raq4

[Jim Dory <engineer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of my Raqs is being used for file sharing presently. I recently 
transferred a bunch of files/directories from my Win2k box that was 
acting as a file share to the raq, using Windows Explorer. Copied the 
files to the samba share that is used by a group, and some of the files 
preserved their date stamps (created/modified date) but a bunch of 
others changed the date to the current date. Now whenever I try to copy 
any files over, or ftp files, they lose their original dates. Can't get 
any to preserve their original dates.

I wouldn't ask on this list ordinarily since it might seem off topic, 
but someone on a local linux users group said he remembered that problem 
on a Qube he was working on and it was fixed by some patch from Sun. 
This Raq has I think most or all of the current updates from the 
official packages site. But I thought maybe someone here has seen this 
problem before. The archives returned nought.

I've also got an inquiry into the smb newsgroup, but nothing there so far.

Cheers,
