I could believe it about Excel, but why would it be by design in applications like cat, less (Cygwin ports), CAD-UL C++ compiler and cmd (when I say "type foo.cpp") or any other trivial application that simply reads the file as its input? -- Hannu -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

It sounds odd that the client application would specifically ask for the modification time to be changed in this case. Even if it does that, would it not make sense to provide an option that could be used to ignore such requests and only let the modification time change when the file is actually modified? The only alternative I can see is to downgrade back to 2.2.x series but since I have noticed that 3.0.x is noticeably faster in my use, I'd rather not do that. -- Hannu -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] How to disable changing of modification times on file access?
Greetings, I just upgraded from 2.2.3 (or whatever Debian stable has) to 3.0.4 (using the Debian packages available via the Samba mirrors). I'm running it on Debian GNU/Linux stable x86, kernel 2.4.25. I noticed that whenever I open a file using a Windows (I'm using Windows 2000) application, Samba changes its modification time to the current time. The old modification time is restored when the windows application quits / closes the file. This causes all kinds of trouble, especially with Emacs' auto-revert-mode. Is there a way to disable this behaviour? -- Hannu -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
