[Samba] Fwd: Samba semantics error?

[Mike Fedyk]

Hello,

I have this bug report that I have filed.  Is there any specific reason why
samba behaves this way, and doesn't use the unix semantics?  Since this is
even more restrictive than unix semantics, I'm more inclined to call it a
bug until I know it's supposed to be this way.

Any ideas?

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.0final-1
Severity: normal

Hi there,

I have this directory:

drwxrws---    2 admin    ssh            96 Oct 30 17:09 .
drwxrwsr-x    4 admin    ssh           112 Oct 30 17:08 ..
-r-xr-----    1 mfedyk   ssh           12M Oct 29 15:40 mozilla-win32-1.5-installer.exe
-r-xr-----    1 admin    ssh             0 Oct 30 18:15 test.txt

Under linux, I can remove any file I'd like as long as I'm either the admin
user, or in the ssh group.

But under windows through samba as the admin user, I can't remove the
mozilla installer file, but I can remove the test.txt file.  And vise versa
with the mfedyk user through samba (but can remove the file as expected from
a bash shell).

I have tried the dos filemodes config option, but that requires the file to
give group write permissions, and I explicitly don't want to do that on this
share.
