Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the dumb question but I'm obviously missing something. One of our users found an odd behavior with SAMBA which I can't explain, but believe it to be related to the SAMBA/Unix permission mapping. Here's what happens:
A file existing on a SAMBA share with unix permissions 755
e.g. -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Dec 17 08:51 test.txt
can be opened in any Windows application and the security acts as expected. i.e. any user other than root can open the file but if they try and save it they are prohibited and must save it as a new file. However if a user browses using Explorer they have the ability to delete the file from within explorer. (The only exception is if no user has write permissions to the file.)
Can anyone help explain this behavior? (BTW, I searched the archives and couldn't find anything that appeared to relate to this problem.)
