There is a nasty bug on samba, up to 3.0.10, which causes Excel to incorrectly think a file was changes by someone else.
This is a know issue, fixed on samba 3.0.11 (stock). A patch was also applied to samba on RHEL 3, but was NOT on RHEL 4.
Do you ahve any references to RedHat bugzilla?
Yes, #167920. Unfortunatelly, it is a restricted bug.
This bug is listed on the RHEL 3 samba changelog:
- - Include the (updated for 3.0.9) -excel patch to close bz#167920 Samba erroneously changes file date/time when opened by Excel
Interesting enough, this entry is from Sep 2005.
There is an interesting followup (plot twist?) on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=171897
Where we read:
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
That was on 2006-08-18. The bug is still open.
