Not sure that you can do this. Since the way Windows operates is that
AFAWIC (as far as windows is concerned) if a file is opened it is
modified. The act of opening a file is considered a modification.

I don't believe that the date/time attribute changed on files when they were
only open and not modified when we had a small Unix file server here prior
to installing our new Linux system. That is what led me to think that it
was a Linux or Samba configuration issue.

There appears to be a problem somewhere in the access/modified/creation
date system, possibly in Samba. When cpio version 2.5 accesses files
over a samba mount, the modify date gets changed. Cpio then complains
that the file has been modified while being copied, resulting in reams
of error messages per day. It is not simply a Windows problem, as it
happens with a SuSE 9.0 system accessing a samba share on a RH 7.3
system. I brought this up on the bug-cpio list, but I don't think it is
high on anyone's priority list ...
