samba - Aug 2004 - refresh filesize of samba shares with win2k

hi,
in this days i'm trying samba because i would like to substitute an NT
file server.

i found this problem:

when with a client win2k i'm connected to samba server i can't see the
latest
situation about my shared directory on the samba server.
example :

if i create a new file named foo.txt , then i can see it with filesize
= 0 byte

then i edit foo.txt and add some char into the file , so i do save and
exit
but the filesize on foo.txt is still 0 byte .
if i press F5 then i can see the correct filesize.

i found this problem in :

Fedora core 2 with kernel 2.6.x + samba 3.0.5

redhat 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18 + samba 3.0.5

i DON'T have this problem with:

Fedora core 2 with kernel 2.6.x + samba 2.2.10

redhat 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18 + samba 2.2.5-10


any suggestion ?

best regards

Cesare

Hello all

I have found the same behaviour using samba 3.04, mandrake 9.1 and win 
Xp/2003.
