Using 'security=share' or 'security=user', via Windows right-click any Samba exported file and set the Read-only attribute. This works, but now can not clear the Read-only attribute, Windows reports simply "Access is denied". This happens with 3.3.0 and 3.3.1, but NOT 3.2.3. Setting 'force user = root' does not help.

Are you sure that you don't have a permissions problem?

I have samba-3.3.0, 3.3.1 and GIT updates in production use without this problem. What is in your smb.conf and what are the permissions on the file system? Also, what do your logs report at log level 3? - John T.
