[Samba] Cannot change File Attributes

[Andreas Schlager]

Hi list,

i've upgraded Samba 3.0.14a to 3.0.20b (debian package) and ran into 
following problem:

I cannot change the file-attribute (read-only, hidden, archive) from a 
file via the windows explorer as an ordinary user. The error "access 
denied" occurs.

The file has following permissions on Unix:
   -rwxrw----  1 root Massen 0 2005-10-28 08:17 Neu Textdatei.txt

The user is named "ewlun" and is member of the Group "Massen". The share 
where the user writes this file has following settings:
   [Programme]
         comment = Programme
         path = /home/samba/Programme
         read only = No
         create mask = 0770
         directory mask = 0750
         acl group control = Yes
         inherit owner = Yes
         inherit permissions = Yes

If the Administrator-user is trying to change the file-attributes, this 
works in following way:
Before set to "read only":
   -rwxrw----  1 root Massen 0 2005-10-28 08:17 Neu Textdatei.txt
After set to "read only":
   -r--r-----  1 root Massen 0 2005-10-28 08:17 Neu Textdatei.txt
BUT: It is possible to edit the file (f.e. via 'Notepad')! After saving 
the file has following permissions again:
   -rwxrw----  1 root Massen 18 2005-10-28 08:27 Neu Textdatei.txt

This behaviour is new in 3.0.20b, with 3.0.14a this was working as expected.
