I mount a WinNT share using a samba client version 2.2.5:
smbmount -t smbfs -o username=user //ntserver/share /logs
Then I want to watch a log generated by Internet Information
Server (IIS) that grows continually:
tail -f /logs/zzz.txt
I can see the last lines in file zzz.txt the first time, but I
don't get the new lines that are appended in such file. From any
windows station I have no problem seeing the file zzz.txt updated.
I tried "tail --follow /logs/zzz.txt" and doesn't work either.
If I umount then mount again, I can see the new lines in the file.
I have to say that IIS block the file zzz.txt against write,
but permit read that file.
Thanks for your help.
Freddy Chavez.
