[Samba] No Error When Trying To Delete Protected Files With Windows Explorer

2009-07-08 Thread Atkinson, Robert
I have a file on a VMS system that I'm accessing using a SAMBA share. When I
delete the file, the icon disappears from the browser window as if it's been
deleted.
 
On the VMS host, the file is still there, and cannot be deleted because it's
protected (no delete privilege). If I then press F5 to refresh the Browser
window, the fie re-appears.
 
A trace of the IP packets show that SAMBA is returning an 'Access Denied'
message, but Windows doesn't seem to see it. Has anyone else come across
this? Is it a known bug with Windows?
 
Rob.

You probably need a recent Samba version, with XP SP2
Windows changed the way to delete a file. Probably you're
seeing the Access Denied on the close request, Windows
ignores it there. Recent Samba gives the error message on
the open call preceding that.
