samba - Sep 1998 - file update when read only

re: Samba-1.9.18p8
    Windows 95 client connected to a read-write Samba file share .

If a file is modified from Unix, Windows 95 client does not see the changes
made when the file is opened read-only, the file prior to the modification
is read. If the windows 95 client opens the file with read-write (opened
in an editor) the current modified file is read.

Any suggestions?

Silly me. The default oplocks=yes in Samba-1.9.18p* got me, that is,
the client aggressively caching files. Setting oplocks=no for 
that particular share solved the problem.
