I serve some samba shares from my NAS. The server and all clients are running Linux (Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian). Now and again a user loses write permissions to a share: the share mounts okay and the files can be read, but when I try to modify a file or create a new one I get a "Permission denied" error. This is solved by simply logging in to the server and running "net cache flush" as root. No need to remount the share or restart/reload the samba server.
I think this only happens on newly mounted shares (e.g. after a client reboot), but I'm not entirely sure. I does not happen after every reboot/remount. I haven't been able to find a clear pattern.
Any idea why this is happening? It's rather annoying...
