I have a file on a linux box, which is slightly growing. I access this
file from my NT box via samba. After startting "tail -f <filename>" i get
the last lines of this file. But this output stays the same (forever) ->
is never updated. "tail -f" should display always the last couple of
lines of a file - but it does not.
