Hi all, I'm new to the list, so please be patient with me. Samba 2.0.7 is running on a compaq alpha server es40 with tru64 4.D.
We got a problem with powerpoint files on a samba share. As soon as I open a powerpoint file on a samba share the modification time of the file changes, even if I'm not changing anything whithin the file. This only happens if I open *.ppt files which where created by others. We got the same problem with excel files, but this stopped after setting the option dos filetimes = yes in the smb.conf. The modification time still changes with opening an excel file but as soon as I'm not changing anything the modification time is set back after closing the file. (normal procedure,I suppose !?) An upgrade to version 2.2.3a did not help either. Here is our smb.conf: [global] server string = Fileserver workgroup = WORK interfaces = 192.168.100.1/255.255.192.0 netbios name = SAMBSERVER encrypt passwords = yes character set = ISO8859-1 username map = /appl/local/samba/samba-2.0.7/lib/users.map logfile = /var/log/samba-log.%m log level = 10 debug level = 2 max log size = 50 passwd program = /bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n * announce as = NT Workstation name resolve order = host bcast lm announce = False local master = No browse list = No printing=bsd printcap = /etc/printcap dos filetimes = yes dos filetimeresolution = yes [homes] comment = Users path = /user/%S valid users = horst,dirk,markus guest ok = no read only = no writable = yes browsable = no create mask = 0700 force create mode = 0700 security mask = 0700 force security mode = 00 directory mask = 0700 force directory mode = 0700 directory security mask = 0700 force directory security mode = 00 ... ... ... If I forgot giving you any other important information please let me know. Thanks for your help in advance.
