Caching on the Windows Explorer side. I seem to recall there is an option somewhere about "not caching". This is all pure speculation, but for me it only started to happen with Windows XP. I would go back and re-test it with a Windows 2000 client and a Linux client, but its not high on my list of things to do :) The basic thing is though, this happens in an all-microsoft environment too, so I'm not certain that anything could be done with Samba to "fix" this? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
