samba - Apr 2003 - Permissions visibility

when do changes to unix permissions become effective via samba?

it seems that after i add someone to a group that has permissions to a 
directory, that user still can't access the directory for at least some 
period of time.  restarting smb works, but i'm leery of restarting it 
while many other users have files open.

thanks

The user disconnecting from the share, then reconnecting seems to do it for
me.  I usually accomplish this by telling them to log out of their
workstation, then log back in.
