We have moved from nt/2000 clients to XP clients and find that now the users cannot delete their own files even though they own them and the permissions are set to 777 on the files. Is this a configuration issue, do I need a newer version, or is this just a way for microsoft to make life difficult? Thanks for the help.
I think it depends on your Samba version. We also had this problem using Samba2. Mircosoft changed the behaviour of the mbx driver (Hotfix Q812937) since XP SP2. Increase your log level and look for lines : map_share_mode: DELETE_ACCESS requested Older Samba versions cannot deal with this attribute. Regards M.Schlett
