<description>
<para>Under DOS and Windows, if a user can write to a
file they can change the timestamp on it. Under POSIX semantics,
only the owner of the file or root may change the timestamp. By
default, Samba runs with POSIX semantics and refuses to change the
timestamp on a file if the user <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> is acting
on behalf of is not the file owner. Setting this option to <constant>
yes</constant> allows DOS semantics and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will change the file
timestamp as DOS requires. Due to changes in Microsoft Office 2000 and beyond,
the default for this parameter has been changed from "no" to "yes" in Samba 3.0.14
and above. Microsoft Excel will display dialog box warnings about the file being
changed by another user if this parameter is not set to "yes" and files are being
shared between users.
