This question isn't directly Samba related, but Samba has helped me figure out part of the problem. When I CreateFile on an existing file like so:
CreateFile(FileName, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_DELETE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); Samba shows that I have the file opened with this type of lock DENY_NONE 0x20089 RDONLY When the file is locked in this manner, I am unable to rename the file. However, Windows launches executables over Samba shares with the lock: DENY_WRITE 0x20 RDONLY I have tried to mimic this lock using GENERIC_READ with FILE_SHARE_READ: DENY_WRITE 0x20089 RDONLY and with GENERIC_EXECUTE with FILE_SHARE_READ DENY_WRITE 0x200a0 RDONLY and by simply putting the constant value FILE_EXECUTE DENY_WRITE 0xa0 RDONLY It seems like something is automatically ORing in FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES into my desired_access, since FILE_EXECUTE is 0x20 and FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES is 0x80. My goal is simply to open a file, read only, deny write, but allowing others to rename the file. Windows does this when you open an EXE and the lock is DENY_WRITE 0x20 RDONLY then file renames are possible. Thank you for any information you can provide. ________________________________________ Jeremiah Lee Gowdy Senior Software Engineer FreedomVOICE Systems E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 800-477-1477 Ext. 804 ________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
