Hi, Matthew,

I'am glad to find someone with the same problem than I have
right now. I encountered the problem by scanning 6 NT4-Server
shares smbmounted in linux 2.0.33 (CONFIG_SMB_FS=y and
CONFIG_SMB_W95=y in make config; smbmount v2.0.2,
mounted as follows: smbmount //server/share directory -I IP)
with McAfee's uvscan for Linux. Doing this I screwed up
timestamps of thousands of files. It's a nightmare for me
and the programmers, which have to correct at least the
distributions which will be shipped to our customers.

By the way - this happens with both - NT4 Enterprise Server
and NT4 Standard Server with Service Pack 3 applied. I did not
tried this under Win95 or Win98 ...

Did you receive any replys with helpful information ?
Does anybody else encountered such a problem ?
