Another poster has raised the question of preventing users from deleting files which the users have saved to the share. I thought that a create mask of 000 would do it, but even though they can't read or write the files they have saved, they can still delete them. Seems odd. So, I thought there might be a way to prevent smbd from deleting files. I can't find out how smbd actually does delete files, though. If I could, a simple patch might solve this problem. I did mess with clifile.c, and took out the subroutine for deleting a file in there (Just changed the whole routine to return False;), recompiled, and started up the new smbd, but, nothing seemed to have changed, even thought clifile.o was updated. Any insight appreciated. Joel
