Does this flag work for directories too ?
Acctualy it does NOT work for me. With files is everything OK.
If file is owned by other user, but my user belongs to group which has
write access, I can change file atributes.
attrib -R file_on_samba.txt
But it does not work with directories... !
attrib -R dir_on_samba
Access denied - dir_on_samba
Is it a bug?
