Yep, it's 1:30 in the afternoon here in California :-).

I don't see a contradiction in setting Readonly flag on one's own
directories and then creating files in them anyways. It's very much like any overruling root privilege. It's just a flag, Jeremy, it's not our saviour's gospel. Bill knows we don't march over dead bodies and he's taking unfair advantage of it.

I propose a new smb.conf feature for 3.0:

[homes & especially profiles]
overrule readonly dirs = Yes/No

Default is "No", but in exceptional cases, like on almost every samba
server, it may be enabled to write into one's own write-protected directories, salvation be damned.
The flag "dos filemode" is usually used for this purpose, I'll
investigate using it.

Thanks,

Does this flag work for directories too ?
Acctualy it does NOT work for me. With files is everything OK.
If file is owned by other user, but my user belongs to group which has
write access, I can change file atributes.

attrib -R file_on_samba.txt

But it does not work with directories... !

attrib -R dir_on_samba
Access denied - dir_on_samba

Is it a bug?
