I just upgraded my server from RH5 to RH6. I am seeing two problems that may be related. 1. When I do an smbtar I get errors on some of the files: My command line: # smbtar -v -s schroon -x "D$" -d gt -p z -u backup -t /usr/tmp/a.tar The error message: Error reading file \gt\STk-dist\Demos\Html-Demos\Images\backward.gif. Got 0 bytes Didn't get entire file. size=714, nread=0 The file is created in the tarfile, but is all nulls. 2. When I do an smbmount of a share onto my RH6 server, then cd in there and look at the files using ls and cat, they have strange modification dates: -rwxrwxr-x 1 paul staff 5706 Dec 28 1905 download_form2.html # touch download_form2.html -rwxrwxr-x 1 paul staff 5706 Apr 7 1968 download_form2.html On the NT side the dates are also messed up, but they are different than the dates the linux box sees on the samba mount. I see a range of dates reaching into 2025! I upgraded from version 2.0.3-8 (which ships with RH6) to the samba-2.0.5a-1 rpm from the RedHat ftp site, but both of the problems persist. I know others have encountered at least the first problem, but I could not find any solution. Can anyone help me? ______ Paul Anderson.
