Hi,
well, I have the dates sorted ... Thanks to looking at what Samba does,
There are [at least] three date formates in the SMB protocol. What a mess.
1. DOS_DATE, where date is 7bits for year, 4 bits for month, 5 bits for day.
time is some funny set of bits that are irrelevant here
2. Unix like date format, two 16 bit USHORTS get put together to yield a
localtime (local to the server) seconds since the epoch.
This is easy to handle, just call gmtime after whacking the two shorts
together.
3. 100ns time format since 1601. This is a long long, and will be a real
hard case to handle. Samba divides by 10**7 to get back to seconds and
then subtracts 369 years (taking into account leap years and hours)
and then I should be able to call gmtime.
My first attempt forgot about adding back 1900, but dates and times look
better now.
Regards
