samba - Nov 2008 - How to remove ability to delete files

Hi, this is kind of a strange situation. I have a share that I want to  
work like a drop box. I want users to be able to create new files and  
read existing files, but not be able to delete them (except for the  
owner of the dropbox). Does anyone know how to do this?

I've tried every combination I could think of write list, read only,  
force group, and sticky bits on the directory itself. Any help would  
be greatly appreciated.

You can employ the sticky bit on the files.


chmod 1750 _file_


the files will only be deleted by your owner

I hope helped you!

Here http://www.mail-archive.com/samba@lists.samba.org/msg95977.html is
what Jeremy Allison wrote when I asked pretty much the same thing, we
have drop boxes for students at school.  The only extra thing we had to
do was set a default setfacl -m d:u:domain\\teacher:rwx dropbox so that
the teacher had full control over anything the students created in
there. (using extended acls obviously)

Hope you can pick out what you need for your situation.
