[Samba] Excel files & file modification time

[plaurent at Wabtec.com]

Hey folks -

I saw that thread, looked through the release notes, and tried the fixes mentioned, but nothing seemed to work. Does anyone know if the Excel issues will be fixed anytime soon? I've got Engineers here who are not happy about modified times that change when files are accessed.

There were a couple of fixes wrt locking issues addressed in latest 3.0.11pre1.
