The timestamp of a file sometimes shows a 1 hour difference from local file.

Further investigations, showed that files created in summer time has the 1 hour gap if local time is winter time (and viceversa).

Reproduction scenario:

1.) Remove any winbind separator line from your smb.conf.

2.) Create a complete smb.conf somewhere by using testparm -v >smb.conf
Now your smb.conf will have a line

winbind separator = \

in your new smb.conf which is the default and perfectly valid. Copy this newly created smb.conf over the one you used before.

3.) Now run testparm -v >smb_broken.conf on that smb.conf again: It will choke and find the following error:

ERROR: the 'winbind separator' parameter must be a single character.

In smb_broken.conf you will find the following line, which is invalid:

winbind separator = 	winbind cache time = 300

Current workaround: Don't use the default winbind separator, use | instead.

Nasty side effect: This breaks every program that uses testparm.exe as a syntax checker in verbose mode for smb.conf

The Samba Client ndpsmb.dll does not distinguish between printer and directory shares.

The result of this that both eVFSGUI (eCS Bugtracker #1996) and NetDrive? happily mount printers as directories.

The problem is even documented in ndpsmb.c in line 860 and following, where the Samba ressource type is explicitly ignored.
