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

[David J. Reiter]

Hi Peter, 
 Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work.
I thought that that might be the problem and tried it out
just before I submitted my question. I am including the output
from testparm, maybe you can see something else. ( I am using
the "pc" share section)  Thanks in advance for your help,

David.
