snapshot of windows explorer view when user map to his unix drive:
when user maps via windows explorer from W2k, lot of these above files and
folder are not seen
ex: public,G15_PSOs,public_html,w17_test_status.pdf are not seen , ( i would
say 50% not seen )
this is happening to couple of users in envrionment of 300 hunder regular
users ( unix ) who use win2k clients for interoperability
thanks for your patience for reading all this

Can you post your smb.conf, so we can see how you've configured the shares?
(though please remove any comments, to save bandwidth).
Are you trying to access them on the Unix side, and being confused when
changes don't show on the Windows side? I think the solution there is to
have your Unix side people access the file system through Samba - do an
smbmount (or is it just mount with special options? I don't use it this
way, and so can never remember). I have experienced problems with just
that - working with files on the Linux server directly, and not having
changes show through to the windows clients. Sometimes it just took time,
others I had to restart Samba itself.
Or is it that these are pre-existing files and folders, and they are
showing some and not showing others? You could cut 'n paste directory
listings, so we can see the permissions settings on the actual files &
folders themselves.
