Hello guys,

I always wondered why smbclient keeps timestamp in `put'ting a file
but does not keep it in `get'ting a file.  Alternative to keep the
time stamp in `get'ting file is to use -Tc option or smbtar script,
but they are a bit hairy for interactive use, and it can only dump
files with an absolute pathname from the top of relevant service.

This patch adds a NEW command `timestamp' to toggle the `timestamp' flag
between `keep' and `new' (I don't know if these mnemonics are quite
right in English context or not).

If the flag `timestamp' is `keep' (BOOL:True), Windows file's 
timestamp (a_time and m_time) will be kept in corresponding UNIX file
copied by `get' and `mget' command (`m*get' work like as in ncftp).

 # The copied a_time (access time) make sense for NT4.0 and samba-2.0.3
 # server, but may be a garbage if the server is Windows98.

If the flag `timestamp' is `new', `m*get' work as they are in old smbclient.

The code is ugly, because I don't know anything about samba source tree
structure and SMB protocol.  Surely there must be smarter implementations
than this quick and ready hack, but the code is working fine at least on
linux-2.0.36 <=[m]get= Windows98/NT4.0/samba-2.0.3 server
 (Windows95 is not tested at all).

Some development codes are still left between "#if 0" -- "#else|#endif".
 Sorry for inconvenience.


I wish the new command might be adopted (with better code, not my lousy one)
in official release, for I have to deal with Windows98 server and it
stores timestamp-sensitive files...

With my biggest gratitude for the great works of the Samba team,

Seiichi


PS.
static BOOL timestamp = True /* means `keep' */
is my default in the patch.  This may go well with DOS/Windows
convention, but might have to be False as default for others who are
familiar with the original smbclient's behaviour. To set it False (`new'),
change the preceeding "#if 0" to "#if 1".

Major defect of this patch is that a file attribute is read two times.

I am not subscribing the mailing list (so sorry for interruption.), so
kindly send an direct Email to my address below if you have any
comment on this.

The patch goes as the next part (applies on source/client/client.c).
