Hey list,

I'm seeing some strange behavior on a Samba server on a Fedora Core 2 system. What's happening is that a user, with full access to a folder, will delete a file through Windows explorer. The file will disappear, just like it was deleted. However, upon a refresh, the file is back again. Thus far, the only workaround I've found is to change the user to be the owner of the file/folder they're trying to delete. With an office full of people using and sharing files/folders, this is not an efficient way to go about doing things.

Our shares are set up to give access by group, and these users all have full access to the folders they're trying to delete files out of. For some reason though, the file isn't being deleted.

I've tried this on 2 file servers now, just to be sure. One is a Fedora Core 2 system running Samba 3.0.10-1.fc2, and the other is running Fedora Core 3 running Samba 3.0.11. Both systems show the same thing. All workstations connecting to these systems are running Windows XP Home with SP2 installed.

The smb.conf file is quite simple, and looks like this:

**********************************************************************************************

[global]
  workgroup = Production
  server string = Fileserver

  printcap name = /etc/printcap
  load printers = yes
  cups options = raw
  log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
  max log size = 50

  security = user

  socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

  dns proxy = no

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[homes]
  comment = Home Directories
  browseable = no
  writable = yes
  valid users = %S
  create mode = 0600
  directory mode = 0600

[printers]
  comment = All Printers
  path = /var/spool/samba
  browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
  guest ok = no
  writable = no
  printable = yes

[Share1]
  comment = Share1
  path = /folder1
  valid users = @accounting,@sales,@dataentry,@operations
  public = no
  writable = yes
  printable = no
  create mask = 3660
  directory mask = 3770

**********************************************************************************************

Any suggestions on why this is happening?

Thanks,
Brandon
