I suspect the corrupted times are Netware's fault. Let's talk about the Linux -> Netware job because it's simpler (no Windows involved). What is the full rsync command? Is the Netware server accessed using rsync's remote capabilities (a remote shell or daemon) or a network filesystem? If a network filesystem, try running "touch --reference=src/path/to/file dest/path/to/file" manually (where path/to/file represents the path of one of the affected files). If the same thing happens to the modification time, then Netware is definitely at fault, but you might be able to work around the problem by using remote rsync to the Netware server instead of the network filesystem. Here's a version of rsync for Netware (unfortunately it's quite old): http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?rsync Matt -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
