On the client side, you must make sure that your client's clock and
|
||||||
|
time zone is also set appropriately. [I don't know how to do
|
||||||
|
this.] Samba traditionally has had many problems dealing with time
|
||||||
|
zones, due to the bizarre ways that Microsoft network protocols
|
||||||
|
handle time zones. A common symptom is for file timestamps to be
|
||||||
|
off by an hour. To work around the problem, try disconnecting from
|
||||||
|
your Samba server and then reconnecting to it; or upgrade your
|
||||||
|
Samba server to 1.9.16alpha10 or later.
