Hi,

Would anyone like to add this small change:

diff --git a/source3/smbd/process.c b/source3/smbd/process.c
index 0e198ee..077cd24 100644
--- a/source3/smbd/process.c
+++ b/source3/smbd/process.c
@@ -1448,6 +1448,7 @@ static connection_struct *switch_message(uint8 type, struc

                /* Does it need write permission? */
                if ((flags & NEED_WRITE) && !CAN_WRITE(conn)) {
+                       DEBUG(2, ("Write access to read-only share rejected.\n")
                        reply_nterror(req, NT_STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED);
                        return conn;
                }

It might save newbies a lot of hair pulling.
