If it were a permission problem, then it wouldn't be possible to set Read-only attribute in the first place, correct? Here's the result of creating an empty file called 'test.txt' via notepad, as viewed from the linux-side. The 'create mask' is 711 and 'map archive' is yes: -rwx------ 1 root root 0 Mar 11 2009 test.txt* Result after right-clicking test.txt and setting Read-only attribute: -r-x------ 1 root root 0 Mar 11 18:02 test.txt* Now if I right-click test.txt again and try to clear Read-only attribute, windows reports "Access denied" and permissions stay the same: -r-x------ 1 root root 0 Mar 11 18:02 test.txt* Now if I 'chmod 502 test.txt' we get: -r-x----w- 1 root root 0 Mar 11 18:02 test.txt* Right-click 'test.txt' in explorer and file still shows as Read-only, but clearing Read-only now works and we get this: -rwx----w- 1 root root 0 Mar 11 18:02 test.txt* Here is output of 'testparm': [global] workgroup = MSHOME server string = Samba server null passwords = Yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/sambalog unix extensions = No load printers = No printcap name = /dev/null disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No local master = No ldap ssl = no force user = root create mask = 0711 directory mask = 0711 use sendfile = Yes map hidden = Yes map system = Yes msdfs root = Yes [atest] path = /mnt/atest read only = No The log is very large, here are a few lines before the operation fails: [2009/03/11 15:26:38, 3] smbd/dosmode.c:unix_mode(124) unix_mode(test.txt) returning 0700 [2009/03/11 15:26:38, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet_set(61) error packet at smbd/nttrans.c(498) cmd=162 (SMBntcreateX) NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
