Hello Everyone!hi, theres is detailed info in the official howto about ms-office,
Perhaps some of you have some advice for dealing with
this problem? I've done quite a bit of googling on
this one, but I can't find anything useful.
Ever since I started using Samba as PDC, I have had
this problem: when users merely open MS-Excel files on
samba shares, the file's Last-Modification date is
incremented to the current time.
I have seen similar behavior with MS-Word files long
ago when using WINNT4 as PDC, and it was caused by a
macro-virus, but in this case, it doesn't seem to be
virus-related.
If the same Excel file is copied to a user's local "C" drive, the problem ceases.
The problem of modifying-by-merely-opening began, I
think, when I changed the PDC to samba.
I had this problem using Samba 2.7* on RedHat 7.2 over
a year ago. I'm currently using samba 2.2.8a on
FreeBSD 4.9 with a similar configuration, and I still
have the problem.
Is it possible to stop this problem using adjustable
configuration parameters in smb.conf?
Here's my smb.conf, in case it's needed:
--------------------------- [global] netbios name = netbiosname workgroup = workgroup security = user domain logons = yes time server = yes server string = Samba %v on %L log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 2000
### Security Settings ### hosts allow = [omitted for this post] 127. hosts deny = ALL invalid users = root ;Unreadable files shouldn't even appear ;hide unreadable = yes ;Prevent browsing by default browseable = no
### Users and Passwords ### [omitted for this post]
### Performance ### deadtime = 15 getwd cache = yes lpq cache time = 45 socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY oplocks = yes level2 oplocks = yes #veto oplock files = /*.xls/*.XLS/
### Domain ### local master = yes os level = 65 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon script = %U.bat logon drive = M: logon path = \\netbiosname\profiles\%U
# Name Resolution wins support = yes wins proxy = yes dns proxy = yes
# Case preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes default case = lower case sensitive = no
----------------------------------
#Sample Share Definition:
[clients] comment = Client Directory path = /usr/local/samba/clients browseable = yes force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 force group = users invalid users = invlink map archive = no printable = no public = no valid users = @users writable = yes
-------------------------------

at last i remember this features are by design of ms office, and why should not the date of last modification be the date of the file?
Best Regards
