Hello.

Sorry if my question wasn't clear.
I know the logs above are insufficient to track down the problem, but 
unfortunately that's all I have ATM.
However, I'm not asking help to track this down. In fact I'll have to do 
this myself.

What I'm asking is a way to easily reproduce a call to fntimes.

More context: during a compilation with cmake some message appears like 
"cannot set time on file xxx" (sorry again, I don't have the exact text; 
I'll eventually try and get it if needed).
Of course running a lengthy compilation while watching Samba in gdb and 
iterating this many times is going to take eons.
So I'd need a single command/short script/whatever in order to be able 
to make this happen easily.

Perhaps is this what smbclient's "utimes" command should do? Any other 
command?

If more info is needed, I'll happily provide, but what should I look for?

  bye & Thanks
