[Samba] strange behaviour in file timestamp on smbfs
Hi all, I've notice a strange behaviour in smbfs and I was not able to understand it, so I want to share it with some other We have some Solaris 7 machines with samba server and some linux workstations with Suse7.3 and SuSE 8.1 OS. When we mount on the linux workstation on share of the Solaris machine we see the file modification timestamp wrong by one hour. I was thinking about a problem in timezone settings, but the very strange thing is that if I touch a file from the workstation the time stamp is correct (and if you type a ls -l on the solaris machine the date is correct so) But if you make the opposite (touch a file from solaris) on the linux machine is again one hour wrong. Timezone of Linux workstations is set to CEST while on solaris machines is set to MET DST. I've tried also to change the timezone on linux clients to MET, but nothing changed. (in any case MET and CET are either GMT+1, isn't it?) Finally, using smbclient timestamps are correct. It seems that the problem is related on the linux smbfs. Mounting a linux share with smbfs the problem dosn't occours. Someone has any idea? I've tried to read many docs but without success. Thanks, Diego
