I have Samba 3.0.9 running on SuSE 9.2, 2.6.5-7.111-smp kernel. SAMBA is a PDC using OpenLDAP as a passdb backend.??Workstations?are?combination?w2k SP3, SP4, and Windows XP SP1. The problem I have is with profile synchronization. If?a?user?obtains?a?file that has a blank modified time, Windows substitutes Jan 13, 2038 for the date.??When?the?user?logs?out,?the?file?is?copied?to?the?share?with?the modified date of Jan 13, 2038 AND a creation date of the same. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem.??However,?when?the?user?deletes?the file and logs out, the file isn't deleted from the share.??This?behavior?is of course because the date on the file is greater than the folder that contains it.??Windows?then?assumes?that?the?file?was?created?after?the current session was started so it merges with the rest of the profile. Now, when the user logs in, that file is back. The file can only be deleted via shell session on connecting to the share. As an interesting side note, I discovered that any file with that date/time stamp under Windows has a timestamp of Dec 13, 1901 under Linux.
