Comment 5 for bug 173967

Glad it's been nominated for Dapper..but not sure if it will get priority it deserves. As it has security implications...can it be patched into a security update? Or am I being too greedy?

At the moment, for basic admin tasks, I am having to use WinZip to copy folders since the compress and extract phases of WinZip preserves folder attributes. This is of course a crazy solution, but it's all I have for now.

Perhaps somebody can point me to a fool's guide for creating my own temporary Dapper samba package containing this patch. I know it's not something you would encourage but I am pretty desparate :(
