[Samba] IIS, ASP, and File Change Notification

[Hal Roberts]

I'm running IIS5 on windows 2000 with the root web directory mapped to a samba 
directory.  Everything works great except for IIS's asp caching.  Unless I 
explicitly disable asp script file caching, IIS refuses to invalidate cached 
asp files without a reboot.  Research, including the following MS kb entry, 
indicates that the problem is that IIS is not getting the file change 
notification from samba:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;281253

I traced the code in notify.c and verified that samba is noticing the file 
change and sending off a notification to IIS, but IIS is evidently not 
recognizing the message.

Any idea what's going on?

Following is my compile configuration and my smb.conf.  I'm running samba 
2.2.7a on a RedHat 7.2 box with a custom 2.4.19 kernel with ext3/acl support.
