Problems with Samba 2.0.6 and file modification times

[Paul Duerr]

Hello,

I'm using Samba 2.0.6 on a newly installed SMP machine
with SuSE Linux 6.2. Apparantly this Samba version does
not allow any network clients to change the file modification
times on remote files, as this is done by several directory
synchronization tools (I personally use "filesync" to synchronize
between my notebook and the server).
On another Linux machine (Samba 2.0.5a on Kernel 2.0.35)
the file modification times are set right. 
Tests with another tool (File Commander for Windows) have
shown the same effect: Samba 2.0.5a (and WinNT) work fine,
Samba 2.0.6 fails (always shows the file creation time).

Information to my system:
o SuSE Linux 6.2 (glibc2)
o Samba 2.0.6 (compiled from source distribution)
o Compiler egcs-2.91.66
o SMP machine Pentium/500 (2 CPU) mit 512 MB RAM
o local file system is Ext2 on RAID5 controller

The smb.conf file used on my system is attached to the end of
this mail, were the results were on all shares the same.
(Perhaps just a configuration error?)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards

Paul Duerr
