[Samba] Bad file modification date/time stamps created from windows clients

I'm running samba server version 3.0.28a on an HP-UX machine with XP-pro
windows clients.

When a windows client creates a new file on the samba share the modification
time is not set correctly.

On the HP-UX side date/time stamp shows as:

% ls -l README

-rwxr--r-- 1 e6b564 users 1081 Dec 13 1901 README

The date/time stamp is always "Dec 13 1901" ?


On the windows side from dos, it shows:

Y:\> dir README

10/29/6250 05:35 AM 1,081 README

   This date/time stamp will vary

In file explorer, the "Date Modified" field is blank



A snippet from running debug level 10 on the samba server shows:

[2008/04/08 10:03:45, 6] smbd/trans2.c:smb_set_file_time(4122)

smb_set_file_time: actime: Tue Apr 8 10:03:44 2008

smb_set_file_time: modtime: Fri Dec 13 12:45:52 1901

smb_set_file_time: setting pending modtime to Fri Dec 13 12:45:52 1901



The compile on the server was done using gcc ver 4.0.1:

./configure --without-ldap

make
make install



Is there an smb.conf setting which might correct this?



Thanks
