[Samba] Samba 3.4.3 and DOS read only

[Jim Gallagher]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to get Samba v3.4.3 to respond to client requests to
change the read-only attribute by setting/unsetting the unix write bits?
For the shares in question, the unix permissions are not really important,
but managing the RO attribute is. It appears that this was the default
behavior in (very?) old Samba versions, but my server appears to simply
ignore RO attribute change requests.

This is a HP-UX server, using the HP repackage of Samba, based on 3.4.3.
The HP build does not include support for file system extended attributes,
nor does it include the vfs_xattr_tdb module.

Thanks,
Jim Gallagher
