Hi Steve,

In 2.0.32 the attr field seems to always be 0 when the setattr call is
used -- perhaps this allows the mtime to be set?

If you feel like experimenting, you could set the attr field in
smb_proc_setattr_core to 0 and see if mtime gets set, then put attr back
and set mtime to 0 and see if chmod +w and chmod -w then work. This is
my current guess as to how WfW supports attributes and mtime.

Regards,
Bill
