I use it to monitor a log file of a program running on a Linux machine from a Win2K machine. The Linux machine's file system is made available via Samba. The problem is: While the initial output of 10 lines (or whatever I specify) is happily printed, newly appended lines never make it to the screen. In other words, "tail -f" doesn't follow. I've already tried "--follow=name", but to no avail. Any ideas?
