pj — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 12:11:01 +0000

In reference to this older post, several people requested my smbd.conf samba configuration file. Here it is:

[global]
refresh = 1
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
obey pam restrictions = yes
interfaces = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
encrypt passwords = true
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passdb backend = tdbsam
wins support = true
dns proxy = no
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
invalid users = root
unix password sync = yes
workgroup = KOALA
os level = 20
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
max log size = 1000
#strict sync = no
#sync always = no
#oplocks = no
#level 2 oplocks = no
kernel change notify = yes
fam change notify = yes

Samba/Windows problem: content of folder does not refresh

Problems like:

files not disappearing when you delete it through a samba share on a windows machine
“new folder” command requires manual F5 (refresh) before it appears

Can be easily solved by adding:

refresh = 1

To your smb.conf configuration file. (global section)

Same issue earlier reported:
