[Samba] Samba 3.4.3 and DOS read only

[Jim Gallagher]

Günter,

I am using the Windows file properties dialog and checking the read only
box. I have tested with both Windows 2003 and Windows 7 Enterprise clients,
with the same results. It seems strange to me that there is no log entry on
the samba side, but I am not familiar with the log levels.

Using wireshark, I definitely see traffic after selecting OK from the
dialog when attempting to set RO, but I don't know enough about the
protocol to decipher what's going on.

Thanks,
Jim
