Hi All, I have noticed when a file is copied from a Windows system to a Samba share the access date/time of the file is made the same as the modification date/time of the file. This may be by design, but was wondering if there is a way to force samba to write the access date/time as the date/time the file is copied to the share? Thank you in advance for any assistance here.
