Description of problem: See: bz#167920 Samba erroneously changes file date/time when opened by Excel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9 How reproducible: As in bz#167920 Getting the samba-3.0.9-excel.patch from RHEL3's samba srpm, and applying it to samba-3.0.10 solves the problem. The patch applies cleaning. The bug on 3.0.10-1.4E.9 is reproducible even when using Excel 2002 with SP3 (per instruction from Microsoft Knowledge Base).
