[Samba] Want timestamp to change when copying from WinXP to Samba share
Hi folks, Windows has a default behavior of preserving timestamps when you copy a file. I want to update the 'Date Modified' timestamp to current time when I copy a file from Windows XP to a Samba share, just like a unix file copy would. Is there some way of doing this? Maybe w/ a script? 'dos filetimes' and 'dos filemode' don't seem to do the trick. Here's my setup: Samba 3.0.7 running on Gentoo Linux system. Output from 'testparm' command (with small edits to protect the innocent): [global] workgroup = WINDOWS security = DOMAIN log level = 4 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No wins server = <winsIPaddress> passdb expand explicit = No idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 force group = mygroup create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 inherit owner = Yes [myfolder] comment = My Folder path = /web/virtual/htdocs/myfolder valid users = WINDOWS\medfield read only = No
