When using NetWare mode, why does the NetWare owner change for directories not reflect right away on UNIX client?
This is because the UNIX client displays the cached results. It does not issue an NFS call because the change in the NetWare owner metadata does not affect the modification timestamps. Therefore, the client assumes its cache to be valid and displays cached results. When the client refreshes the cache it will display the updated information. Alternately, execute a touch file/directory_name to force the updates.
