Applications / Re: SAMBA Network access denied
« on: October 02, 2020, 03:56:41 pm »Hey Neil,Our implementation of SAMBA still does not respect OS/2 notions of "Last Write Date" which kind if sucks for developers who want to use the make utility.
When you say this, as you talking about the client or server? There were definitely some issues with the mapping of file create/modify/access times which I think are fixed in the latest 4.11.x plugin.
I'm sorry to pollute this thread with other Samba Server issues, but here goes.
My use case is that a client running ArcaOS 5.0.6 (and some earlier versions too) will read a bunch of .cmd files residing on the server. All of the OS/2 file dates are changed to the current time. I asked around and decided that this will be an issue to take up when we are ready to test the new Samba server, as fixing the old code is a lower priority. For now, I keep the real write date as a text string in the cmd file.
I have other issues with the server and fast machines, but those also are on hold waiting for an ArcaOS beta with the new server installed. It's worth it to me to test these. Samba server is nearly as strategic as the new browser for my use of ArcaOS.
When a new beta with the latest Samba client appears, and I will test the file date bug. Arca Noae works so hard to make these beta distributions, I favor testing that. Otherwise, I'm mostly testing my own client or server installation, which hasn't been so productive.
