Kind of what I figured. Yes you can mark it RO once it's there. I just checked another client with a Buffalo NAS, same issue. Who knew?

I'm not sure that they support file attributes, as opposed to file permissions. Can you re-mark it as RO once it's on the device? -sc From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 9:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Buffalo NAS - weird read only issue I have a client with a Buffalo NAS and if they have a file marked read only on an PC and they move it to the NAS the read-only attribute is stripped. Same thing for moving from folder to folder on the NAS. Has anyone else seen this before? Any idea if there's a way to fix it? It has to be due to how the folder is shared or how the file system in Unix-y, but I can't find any kind of setting that mighty change the behavior.
