Stuart Callender:
Thanks for the reply. I thought this too, but no matter what permissions I give for existing folders via Unix permissions (even tried sticky bits), or via the directory mask and force directory mode, the folders can still be deleted.
the folder can be deleted if *the parent* folder has deletion rights. e.g. "parent": 0555 "parent/child": 0777 "child" cannot be deleted, all folders in child you can delete
if you have *no* linux fs (ext2/ext3/a.s.o.) e.g. FAT, this will take no effect... :-(
i hop it helped.
Windows 2000 sees the folders as read only, but allows you to delete them. According to O'Rielly's Samba book (based on Samba 2), all should work fine, but it doesn't. I was wondering whether this is because of Windows 2000 allowing delete of Read Only files. As such I may have to perhaps set up a Windows 95/98 box just to see.
