"delete readonly" vs. "delete on close"

Hi,

This looks like a bug to me: The "delete on close" semantics in 
smbd/close.c do not check for "delete readonly = no". 

To reproduce: Configure a share with "delete readonly = no". Client is XP. 
Open a command line window, change to the share.

	echo Testing >testfile
	attrib +r testfile
	del testfile					-> Access denied

No open Windows Explorer and delete the file. Explorer asks back, but it 
will happily delete the file although it's read only and thus should not 
be deletable.

Regards,
        Robert
