This sounds like a classic example of a kernel compiled with the 'Windows
95 bugfix' support option selected (I believe the RH6.0 stock kernel has
this). This screws up smbfs datestamps on servers that are _not_ running
W95, i.e. NT or W98. The only solution I know is to rebuild your kernel
with this option deselected.

There's been ongoing correspondence about this in this list for ages. Have
a search back through the archives for more info.

Best regards, Paul
