Re: dates on share

[David Cureton <david.cureton@catapult.com>]

Unix has a concept of multiple times. Access time, Modified date, 
Created time, maybe more.  Samba coming from windows linage probably only has 
one date/time field and depending how you copy depends on which field the 
date is inserted in.... maybe?

man ls and search for 'time'. You can ls a file and display it's many 
different time stamps or try:

ls -la --time=atime  filename          -> show time file last accessed
ls -la --time=ctime filename	-> show time file was created
ls -la   filename	                        -> show time file was last modified

This also depends on the underlying filesystem and it's capabilies.

Cheers David
