[Samba] Changing file mode "behind the scenes" doesn't show up
I have a XP box mounting a share from a Samba server. I create a file on the share via the XP box. The XP Properties dialog for the file shows that it is read/write (the Unix side shows the file to have 744 permissions, as expected). Now, on the Unix side, I chmod the file to be 544 (i.e. readonly). Back on the XP side, however, the Properties box still shows the file to be read/write. Presumably something is caching the file attributes and eventually Windows will "catch up" and show the right attributes. My question is: is there anything I can do configuration-wise to make this happen faster? David
