Funny caching problem

[Bond, Jeffery]

Hi folks,

I am experiencing a strange problem with 1.9.18p7 on FreeBSD 2.2.2.

When I access files from the [homes] share, my Win95 client seems to be
caching the files, and not realising that the files may have changed.

For example, I can load a simple text file (from the [homes] share) into
Codewright on the Win95 client. Then I edit the same file using vi on the
samba server, and write out the changes. Now, if I close the file in
Codewright, and re-open it, the old version of the file re-appears. Notepad.
exe shows the same behaviour, although (oddly), reading the file with
Quickview.exe seems to fetch the latest version every time. Once this is
done, Notepad.exe and Codewright can also load the latest version, (until I
make another change to the file).

This behaviour does not seem to occur if I access the same file via another
share, not in the [homes] section. 

Has anybody got any ideas why this is happening, and maybe how to fix it?
It's driving me mad.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff Bond
