Hi!

Bug: <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11065>

Looks like Apple's SMB server deviates from the standard in that it
allows renames of directories with open files. As specified in [1], a
SMB server MUST deny renames of directories with open files with an
error code of STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.

Haven't checked yet whether there are dependencies on protocol level,
capabilities or something else. The basic behaviour is just that with
a 10.10 -> 10.9|10 SMB2 connection, renaming directories with open
files works.

Possible patch: <https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=10648>

Thoughts? :)

Thanks!
-Ralph
