What I'm unsure of is how you think this is different than in Windows? In Windows, if you have modify (but not delete) permissions, you can still empty the file of data. You are correct in assuming that this doesn't really buy you much over being able to totally delete a file from a directory, but the functionality itself is the same in Windows or Linux/UNIX/BSD/whatever. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
