samba - Dec 2002 - incorrect file creation dates

Hello!

    A good day to you all. The file creation dates that show up on my Windows
2000 pro box don't seem to match the file creation dates on the samba linux
box. Any suggestions on what i should look into? i am currently using 2.2.5a
with rh 7.2. Thanks!

UNIX file systems don't support creation times.  We have to fake it up 
from the mtime in the stat struct.  The rest of thej timestam[ps (atime, 
ctime, & mtime) should match.
