What *exactly* do you mean by "incorrect". What time values
are being stored in which timestamp. What I need is what timestamp
values are stored on the NT client, and what you expect to see
on the Samba server, and what you do see.

Can you be more specific please. The MIN vs. MAX change fixed
the issues brought up by at least one Samba admin.

I need more info on what you expect to happen before I
can look for the bug.
