I have one computer on which I have a local file in /tmp/shared. 
This folder is set up to be a share ("temp") for the local running Samba 
server. 
 
When using smbclient //localhost/temp and doing dir I get 
  test               0  Thu Oct  7 19:54:07 2004 
 
When looking at the file with ls -l I get 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 2004-10-07 19:54 /tmp/shared/test 
 
up till now this is correct. 
 
But when using smbc_stat() on that file, I get a wrong date. 
The attached test program shows this output: 
 
SAMBA 
ret=0, 
 mtime:Thu Oct  7 21:54:07 2004 
 ctime:Thu Oct  7 21:54:07 2004 
 atime:Thu Oct  7 21:54:07 2004

ret=0,
