Hi Steve, Thanks for the quick reply. > Is the problem reproducible if mounting as a cifs share instead of an > smbfs share?
I've already done some testing and mount.smbfs results in creation of wrong file timestamps for the following timezones: Pacific/Auckland +13:00 during daylight saving Pacific/Chatham +13:45 during daylight saving Pacific/Tongatapu +13:00 Pacific/Enderbury +13:00 Pacific/Kiritimati +14:00 When I tried mount.cifs I got "mount error 13 = Permission denied". Even though the same configuration had worked for mount.smbfs. However, after changes to smb.conf - e.g. adding 'security = share' - it was possible to use mount.cifs. Using mount.cifs resulted in correct file timestamps created for all the timezones listed above. So while mount.cifs helped me, I suspect it might break things for some people. > The smbfs kernel driver is deprecated, and will no longer be > supported in Debian lenny. When you say the smbfs kernel driver is depreciated, I take it that means nobody is making any fixes to smbfs upstream? Reading another bug report, it seems that in future, mount.smbfs will become a wrapper to mount.cifs and 'true' smbfs is gone? Does this apply regardless of how smbfs is requested? e.g. 'smbmount' 'mount -t smbfs' and smbfs entry in /etc/fstab.
