I imagine you're running a later server... maybe you could test it for me?
it's simple just do a "stat <dir>" on a directory from its parent and
compare it to when you do a "stat *"... on my system and some RH 8.0 systems
others have tested the results vary by 1 sec, consistently.

yeah, I reverted to NFS since this little fiasco... I wanted samba because I
have a mixed env and didn't want two servers running... sigh.

well try to upgrade the server to 2.2.7a and see if thins change.
I think we fixed some bugs with dos times in 2.2.x series.

Btw why do you use smb to share beetwen 2 unix machines?
Currently nfs is still better as it respect unix semantics ...
