Is it a bug?

No it's apparently a feature, Saulius!

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?
