Hi.
In WinXP I can setup the permission of a file so that a user can modify the file,
but he can not delete the file.
I wonder if this is posible in Linux + ACL patch + Samba 3.0 compilled with --with-acl?
In posix ACL is no equivalent to Windows's "enable/disable delete" attribute. Generally, if user have write access to a directory he can delete/rename file even he is not an owner of file. The only way to prevent him from this is to set a sticky bit on a directory containing your files. It tells to Linux - "only the owner of file can delete/rename it". Access rights of others then depend on rwx/ ACL settings.
