being not able to set the file times via utimes is a _major_ missing feature in cifs, so cp -p /client/file /server does not work regarding servers like win9x/me and os/2. The source time stamps are not transfered to the server! The current local time on the server is set instead for all time stamps. The reason is a missing implementation of legacy versions of setfileinfo setpathinfo I had that already working months ago, but it never made it upstream ... Possibly we could give it a 2nd try?
