[Samba] No Error When Trying To Delete Protected Files WithWindows Explorer

[Atkinson, Robert]

Thanks Volker.

I've gone back to the 'coders' and they've now seen the same problem and will
port over the necessary code to deal with Mr Gates.

Cheers, Rob.

You probably need a recent Samba version, with XP SP2
Windows changed the way to delete a file. Probably you're
seeing the "Access Denied" on the close request, Windows
ignores it there. Recent Samba gives the error message on
the open call preceding that.
