I just setup a FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine using the included version of Samba and the template for smb.conf. I got a couple shares up and running and it's working fine from a Windows XP client, except that when I create a new folder, copy a file, rename/delete, or do anything on any of the FreeBSD shares the changes don't show up until I hit F5 (refresh).

Is there something simple that I need to add/uncomment from the smb.conf file, or is there anything else that might be causing the problem?

Thanks!

where can i find a manual for setting a samba server on
FreeBSD 5.2.1, please?

I'm experiencing the same problem. When creating, moving or deleting a file the folder is not refreshed. I have to hit View -> Refresh or F5 to get the applied changes to be displayed. Any clue?
I though the

kernel change notify = yes

option would fix it but it has not.


Here's my config:

I've trid with and without the
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.100 (192.168.1.100)
# Date: 2005/02/21 16:53:30

# Global parameters
