samba - Oct 2005 - FileSystemWatcher

Hi,
I tried to use the FileSystemWatcher class on a Samba share.
It does not work. Using API's is not that easy and I don't want to have
it run on a timer.
I would rather have it event driven..

I am using VB.NET and Samba 3.0.20b on SuSE 9.2 with RiserFS

Will this class ever be implemented with Samba? I thought that Samba
emulates NTFS to the outside world and it would not make a difference.
Would the Linux filesystem make a difference? 

I tried Mono, but it is a big learning curve and I need it done quickly.


Does anyone know of a simple solution to monitor and report file changes
on a Samba network share?

Thanks,
Oleg.

Across the share? Then either monitoring the date/time/size stamp of the file,
or for contents you would end up transporting the entire file over the wire over
and over.

On the server? Check into TripWire. http://www.tripwire.com/
