Hi,

As you can see, the directory is owned by user bas (that would be me) and by
the group products_admin.
User bas is member of group products_admin.
The content of directory a_new_directory:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 bas products_admins 6769 Dec 12 10:14 softice.txt
I am trying to delete the directory with the same user bas, but this only
succeeds when the directory is empty. Still I can rename it independently of
it's content.
I know that in UNIX world, you can delete a folder which has some contents,
only if you delete it's contents recursively. This should be specified in
command line using option -R (-r). By default UNIX does not ask you if you
want to delete the content of the directory. It's just give you an error
message saying that wht are you trying to delete is a directory (he thinks
that you don't kno that :)) I think here is the same kind of problem.
Thanks,

most likely the rights ( owner ) of the folder is not
the users u used to deleted.
This is not but, just a rights problem.

Onderwerp: [Samba] How to delete NON-EMPTY directories through
a Samba share?
Hi all,
I have setup a Samba server as file and print server. Everything works
perfectly, I can print, I can write, delete files through
Samba. But, the
only thing that does not work is to delete a NON-EMPTY
directory. No error
message received, just don't want to delete it. As soon as I delete all
files from the directory, then the directory can be deleted
too. The problem
is recursive for subdirectories. Just think how awful is to delete a
directory with lots of subdirectories. I don't think it's a permission
problem (it can't be) and I could't find any posts on this
problem over the
internet.
Thanks for help,
Sandor
