The only way that I could think of would be to write a Samba VFS module
that prevented invocation of the chown(2) and chmod(2) system calls (and
friends).  Such a VFS module would need to return a suitable error code,
which would more than likely then be passed back to the client.

Or you could simply "stub" the chown/chmod (and friends!) system calls
such that they return success but are effectively no-ops.

Someone else with more intimate experience with Samba's code may have a
better option, but that's the only one I can think of at the moment.
