samba - Oct 2004 - Update: Samba Shares not Refreshing contents

Actually it looks like this problem only affects some workstations.
Could it be my domain policy? (I guess so 'cause only computers logged on to
the domain exhibit this behavior)
Anyone ever experienced this?

Subject: [Samba] Samba Shares not Refreshing contents

Hello List,

 

I've seen this question multiple times in several forums, and no answers.

 

I've just setup a couple of Linux (fedora core2)/Samba servers that are
supposed to act as NAS (2.7 and 3.7 TB respectively), samba is working fine and
it's perfectly integrated to the active directory and NT domain (win2003
environment). However I've got a problem refreshing the contents of any
folders whenever I create a new folder or rename a file. I've got to
manually refresh the explorer windows (pressing F5) to see the changes,

 

Is there any way to make it work so explorer reloads the folder lists whenever
they change? Basically, this is just an annoyance, 'because users won't
use directly the samba shares. I want to upgrade our fileservers from win2003 to
Linux/Samba later on, and then will become a big issue instead of just a minor
annoyance.

 

As I said before I've seen this question on forums previously but
couldn't find a decent answer. Even some Sun technician just answered to a
customer that it was "pretty much the standard samba behavior". Is it
true?

 

Thanks in Advance,

Omar

We have the problem on some of our machines, and we are a pure workgroup setup.

BTW: I think this also happens with some of our Win2K servers, so this
is not a samba unique issue.
