no updates seen on PC after unix changed (v2.0 alpha)

[Peter Debus]

See the "oplocks" option in the smb.conf man page. It allows
clients to "aggressively cache files locally", hence your
client is not seeing the updated file, just the locally cached
one.

Set "oplocks = false" in your smb.conf for the share where it's a 
problem. Remember, there will be a performance penalty, so only
apply it to shares where its a problem, avoid setting it globally.
