A few weeks ago I sent a problem concerning moving of read-only files. The original posting was: Recently I found a problem with moving read-only files, owned by another user. If you try to move such a file from a read-only network directory to another writable network directory (owned by yourself), you get an error message that you cannot delete the original file. This is, of course, correct. The problem however is that the file in the directory you were moving to, is read-only and not owned by yourself. Example: drive N: is connected with a Samba server. In the read-only directory N:\tmp is a file named "from.dat", owned by user aaa, with unix permissions 744. Moving it to the directory N:\mydir will result in a file that cannot be deleted from N:\mydir. The owner of to.dat is user aaa; the unix permissions are 600. You need to login on the unix machine in order to remove the file. It cannot be removed from the Win95/NT client. Until now their was no response, but it still is a problem for us. Can someone please take a look at this problem? Currently we use 1.9.18p10, but the problem also occurs in 2.0.6. The OS is HP-UX 10.20, but it also happens on IRIX 6.5.6. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: J.Mostert.vcf Type: text/x-vcard Size: 308 bytes Desc: Card for J.
