Firstly, modern Samba stores DOS attributes
in extended attributes, so removing the 'w'
bits doesn't make a file read-only, it changes
the access permissions (not the same thing).
Check what the setting of the user.DOSATTRIB
ea is.
Secondly, Windows explorer asks if you want
to delete a read-only file first - if you
say "yes" it removes the read-only attrib
then deletes it.
Samba works correctly with these calls.
