Samba-Problems with timestamps at change to winter time
Hello, This is on SUSE 10.0, samba-3.0.20b-3.5. The server with Samba has not been reset after the change from summer to winter time. A user here had a Samba share mounted on his W2K workstation since several weeks; i.e., it was mounted when summer time was still active. He discovered that all files on that workstation showed a modification date of one hour earlier. I.e., if the file had a mod time of 11:37 on Unix, it showed as 10:37 in the Windows file explorer. When I restarted the Samba daemon, the time stamp on Windows was again shown correctly, as 11:37. Is this a known problem? Since this is our only Samba server, I cannot easily check if it would have sufficed to unmount and remount the share on Windows, i.e., if restarting the Samba server was really necessary.

Hello,
This is on SUSE 10.0, samba-3.0.20b-3.5.
The server with Samba has not been reset after the change from summer to winter time. A user here had a Samba share mounted on his W2K workstation since several weeks; i.e., it was mounted when summer time was still active.
He discovered that all files on that workstation showed a modification date of one hour earlier. I.e., if the file had a mod time of 11:37 on Unix, it showed as 10:37 in the Windows file explorer.
When I restarted the Samba daemon, the time stamp on Windows was again shown correctly, as 11:37.
Is this a known problem? Since this is our only Samba server, I cannot easily check if it would have sufficed to unmount and remount the share on Windows, i.e., if restarting the Samba server was really necessary.
I had the same problem. During summer time, I had copied a directory with lots of files in it from Samba to windows laptop. Now, after we changed to winter time, I did a diff to the directories from windows. I noticed that each one of the files had a time stamp off by 1 hour. I'm pretty sure I have rebooted this server multiple times after changing to winter time. -- HG.
