Hi, I have done some further analysis of what permissions are needed to access files under Windows.
Yesterday I was under the mistaken impression that to open a file for writing you need FILE_WRITE_DATA, FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES, and FILE_WRITE_EA. However, this is only if you are using the POSIX open call. If you use the Win32 CreateFile and WriteFile calls, you can open a file for writing and write to it with just FILE_WRITE_DATA, even over CIFS.
