samba - Feb 2006 - delete readonly

I changed the "delete readonly" option to "yes" because some
users couldn't
delete their own files if they are read only, for example when they have 
copied them from a CD-ROM.
But now other users can delete them too, not only the owner, and also when 
it was set to "no" it somewhat limited the possibility of a user to 
accidentally delete a directory with lots of files.

Is there a way to allow a user to change the permissions of his own files? 
Then I could leave delete readonly to "no", and if he wants to delete
them,
he takes out the read only attribute and deletes it.

Have you tried setting the sticky bit on the directory?
