delete_on_close flag handling

[Nadav Danieli]

Forget what I've said, testing against w w2k workstation share give the

Naively I made my tests against a local file system.
I now wonder how will Windows handle hard links, but i doubt it will be
different than samba.

Sorry about all the fuss,

Nadav
