number of years ago.
I have been cautious of how I backup mmapped data ever since.
FYI, I just did a test with smbpasswd on my Lenny system with the
2.6.26-2-vserver-686 kernel and the /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb file changed
mtime as it should. Good.

Can I ask you to pass along this wishlist item to upstream and maybe ask
them why ctime must be modified even when the permissions are not? I
would really like to know why.
