I'm trying to solve a known problem where NT 4.0 shares which are mounted
under linux 2.0.31 using "smbmount" (version 2.0.1) produce random incorrect
modification times for files.

I saw a patch for kernel-2.0.33 which fixes linux/fs/smbfs/proc.c to perform
mtime computations differently under W95 and NT.  I also noticed that
kernel-2.0.34 appears to include this fix.

For various reasons, I'm trying to avoid reinstalling an entirely new kernel
and so have replaced my kernel-2.0.31/fs/smbfs with the newer
kernel-2.0.34/fs/smbfs files and rebuilt the 2.0.31 kernel with the new
smbfs.  The build is successful and I see smbfs.o get linked into
filesystems.a which in turn gets linked into the resulting kernel.

But, when I reboot with the modified kernel and smbmount the NT share from
an NT client, I still see incorrect times (many years in the future, many
years in the past, sometimes correct).

Any ideas what else I need to be doing?  I'd like to avoid having to
configure and rebuild an entirely new kernel (stability based on my current
configuration is important).
