Like I said, Microsoft "fixed" an identical sounding problem in support article 823291. This fix was added to XP SP2. Hint: This code change wasn't added to Windows 2000. So based on the evidence at hand, the problem seems to have been caused by Microsoft. Chris Smith wrote: On Wednesday 29

I'm of the opinion that this could have bigger consequences than you might guess. I would suggest it better to inform people about the behavior and let them hit F5 when they feel the need. I know this is a bit off topic, but I believe calling it a "bug" in Samba is a bit disingenuous. If my su

Honestly, I haven't had anyone complain about this. In fact, I haven't had anyone mention it at all. But I've known about the behavior for a while now. As a user I don't mind this at all. I have no problem hitting the F5 key on my keyboard if I have an explorer window open for an extended peri

I get the same behavior on Ubuntu 6.06 with Samba 3.0.22 so it isn't just you. I notice that when an XP client first connects, the share behaves as it should with file and folder deletions showing up immediately. If left sitting with a share open for a few minutes, the behavior starts. You can
