I have a very upset client and I can not find an answer. How do I set the read-only flag using the Windows Explorer? I right-click, select properties, select the read-only check box, click apply and the check mark goes away. No errors it just does not work. I browsed the log files on the server and did not find anything there either. RedHat ES 4 Samba 3.0.20a (rpm not hand compiled)

You'll need to mount your server's drives with the user_xattr option, if they aren't mounted as such automatically. If you don't use store dos attributes, then Samba 3.0.20 sets the read-only flag based on whether or not the user has read permissions. So editing ACLs or changing the owner or group would probably be the only way to set read-only. Josh Kelley
