Help - My Samba share changes the timestamp when copying files to it.. Preserve Time.

hheejj · 05-10-2005, 07:34 AM

I have a Samba share on a Fedora Core 3. When I copy files to it from my windows box it give all the files the same date/time (the current date and time), instead of giving it the same date as the files already have. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I want to Preserve to original time and date stamps.

I'm running: Samba version 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3 on Fedora Core 3 64-bit Athlon

Some of my smb.conf file:

[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP

[fileserver]
comment = fileshare
path = /shares
public = yes
printable = no
read only = no
dos filemode = yes
writeable = yes
create mode = 0666
directory mode = 0777

hi,

seems that the line "force user" in the smb.conf helps :

[myshare]
comment = myshare
path = /export/myshare
force user = myuser
read only = No
browseable = No

it's funny but you have to decide if you need the information of the last guy who accessed the file or the correct date
