I'm going to have to second the refresh option to see if the file's
datestamp has changed. Opening a file says that on a fresh pull, the
contents are right so why not do a fresh pull/poll of the file's info.
However, that shouldn't affect gcc because it should be doing its own
polling, not using win2k's cached data.
Good luck,

Your suggestions are interesting but I don't think it explains what I am=20
seeing. Perhaps if I give you more detail, you can see why.

I have two computers on my desk. One is Win2k with some code in a=20
shared directory. One is the Red Hat Linux 7.3 with my preferred=20
editor. I smbmount the Win2k shared directory to the Linux box and edit=20
the code there "in the mount point" so to speak. I save the code in the=20
editor. I then run the compiler on the Win2k box via GNU Make. Make=20
uses the date and time stamps to determine which source files need to be=20
compiled because they are newer than the object files.

I have made an edit and saved it from the Linux box and then brought the=20
same file up in an editor on the Win2k box and seen the changes. But=20
the date of the file was not changed. I have then unmounted the share=20
from the Linux box which should flush any "left over" file system stuff=20
without having to wait 5 minutes. The date did not change.

BTW, the filesystem on the Win2k is FAT32, not NTFS.

I have googled around and found a "dos filetimes" setting for the samba=20
server that will allow non-owners of a file to change it's date and time=20
but I don't think that applies here. The SMB server is the Win2k box=20
and I could not find a samba config file for the client smbmount side of=20
things.

The answer is there somewhere, I just have not found it yet. It's got=20
to be a setting that I don't know about which is a lot of them since I=20
am not a samba "expert" at all!
