Samba 2.0.7, x86 Redhat 6.1
I have been attempting to use samba to mirror files from windows
workstations to a Linux server.
I have set up a script which calls smbclient to retrieve the files from
the workstations, using the archive bit to keep track of updated files.
Inside smbclient, typing 'help archive' shows this:
0=ignore archive bit
1=only get archive files
2=only get archive files and reset archive bit
3=get all files and reset archive bit
I have been setting 'archive 2' or 'archive 3' depending on
whether I
want a full backup or a partial backup. But these modes do not seem to
reset the archive bit as they should.
After a bit of debugging, the following patch seems to fix smbclient,
but I'm sure someone who understands the code better than I do would
have a more elegant solution.
