I know this, but I am moving data from a Windows server to Samba i.e. I
have to copy files preserving the creation times and then set up the
access rights.
And as I tought that s goes with x, and there is not way (well, as least
from what I know) to recursievly set the s just to directories (as with
the X) I had no solution.
Well, seting up the s to the base dir before replicating data should
have worked, but I just didn't think enough.
