[Samba] Can not delete files via Samba in some cases

[Dale Schroeder]

Would this parameter help you?


      dos filemode (S)

    The default behavior in Samba is to provide UNIX-like behavior where
    only the owner of a file/directory is able to change the permissions
    on it. However, this behavior is often confusing to DOS/Windows
    users. Enabling this parameter allows a user who has write access to
    the file (by whatever means, including an ACL permission) to modify
    the permissions (including ACL) on it. Note that a user belonging to
    the group owning the file will not be allowed to change permissions
    if the group is only granted read access. Ownership of the
    file/directory may also be changed. Note that using the VFS modules
    acl_xattr or acl_tdb which store native Windows as meta-data will
    automatically turn this option on for any share for which they are
    loaded, as they require this option to emulate Windows ACLs correctly.

    Default: //|dos filemode|/ = |no| /
