hi&big thx jerry,
two questions remain:
1) i'm using "store dos attributes" so (a)/(b) do not apply for me?
2) 'map read only = yes' should give you 3.0.14a behavior.
-> according to the docs wouldn't "map read only = Permissions or No"
give the <3.0.20 behaviour?
i'll play around with 3.0.21pre
thx so far
In the absence of 'store dos attributes = yes' and the ability
to represent DOS attribute bits separately from permission bits,
we have two choices.
(a) May the read only DOS attrib bit to the inverse of the
user write bit (this is what we did prior to the 3.0.20 series),
or
(b) represent the read only attribute based on whether the
user can actually write to the file.
If the 'R' DOS attribute is set, Windows will not allow you
to delete the file IIRC which is probably what you are hitting.
In 3.0.21pre1 'map read only = yes' should give you 3.0.14a behavior.
The problem in the current 3.0.20 behavior (which might be
considered a bug) is that we do not take the parent directory
permissions into account when determining whether the user
has write access or not to a given file. And hence this is
another argument to stay away from user space access checks.
But we have no choice with the changes in WinXP sp2 and file
deletion.
Does this help explain the behavior?
cheers, jerry
