samba file modifed dates

[eggstain]

I am looking to see if there is an option in the smb.conf to fix my problem. I have samba sharing a folder in our windows network for our employees to dump files that they want to be available on the ftp server. We wrote a quick cronjob to remove the files they put there after say 24 hours. The problem is that when they drag the files from there windows desktop samba uses the last modified date. So if the user doesn't modify the file right before adding it to the ftp server it gets deleted by the script. I am looking for samba to change the date to when they drop it.

If by chance your cronjob use the find command then play with the -ctime primary instead of -mtime

Hope This Helps, PH.
