Hi
Oh no, I'm certain it's no better. I favour it because I've wasted so
much time trying to understand what the smb.conf 'something = <value>'
syntax does in Linux terms. It struck me one day that what those options
are doing are altering the acl's on the shares.

As far as I can see, the windows administrator creates files as:
 Administrator: Domain\ Users
If there is group rw on the share where he created the file then any
user in Domain\ Users (all users by default) would be able to delete it.

I made the mistake in believing that the domain admin on windows was
like root on Linux. Nope.
Cheers,
Steve
