Guys, I've identified a problem "I think" Config: Samba 2.2.8a on Linux and Solaris WinXP SP1 and Win2kSP4 workstations We have a problem here, when logging out and using roaming profiles on a samba host take significantly longer than logging out when the profile is stored on a Win2k server. Looking closely I've discovered the following. On each logout, numerous files, that have not changed are still copied up to the server. Looking more closely, I discovered that some of these files are have different last modification dates, where the date on the server is 1 second older than the version on the workstation. This means, that on logout the files are copied up each time, but due to some unknown issue, the date is unable to be set to the correct time. On next logon, the local file has a later date, so the file is not copied down, next logout, the file gets copied back, as the date is still one second to old. (Note: not all files are like this, only a subset, with some common property I have yet to identify) I've played with the dos filetime resolution setting, and it seems to make no difference to the behavior. Has anybody else seen this issue, and are there any suggested solutions I should check out ?
