[Samba] Read only configuration.

[Dale Schroeder]

Gerard,

Since Samba honors the underlying permissions of the file system, 
control that with the POSIX permissions of the subfolder.
Assuming there are only files in /u02/pub/expenses/hardware, then:
    chmod 755 /u02/pub/expenses/hardware
    chmod 644 /u02/pub/expenses/hardware/*

Modify accordingly to fit what actually exists in your file system.
