[Samba] IIS, ASP, and File Change Notification

[Hal Roberts]

I'm running IIS5 on windows 2000 with the root web directory mapped to a samba directory. Everything works great except for IIS's asp caching. Unless I explicitly disable asp script file caching, IIS refuses to invalidate cached asp files without a reboot. Research, including the following MS kb entry, indicates that the problem is that IIS is not getting the file change notification from samba:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;281253

I traced the code in notify.c and verified that samba is noticing the file change and sending off a notification to IIS, but IIS is evidently not recognizing the message.

Any idea what's going on?

Following is my compile configuration and my smb.conf. I'm running samba 2.2.7a on a RedHat 7.2 box with a custom 2.4.19 kernel with ext3/acl support.
