[Samba] [3.6.6] Windows won't let me delete files

[Winfried]

Hello

I'm running Samba 3.6.6 on an ARM Debian appliance.

While I can successfully copy files from a Windows 7 host to Samba, Windows
won't let me delete files on the Samba host: "File cannot be deleted. Please
remove the write protection."

Performing this operation as Administrator makes no difference, and no
information is reported in /var/log/samba/log.smbd.

Here's my very basic /etc/samba/smb.conf:
===================
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = LINUX
;Important: Otherwise, doesn't switch to Unix "nobody" -> Err 5 Access
denied
security = share

log level = 2

[tmp]
path = /tmp
comment = No need for Unix/Samba passwords
readonly = no
guest ok = yes
;browseable = yes
===================

The default /etc/passwd already contains a "nobody" user, which I read is
used by Samba for the guest account unless otherwise specified:
===================
# grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh
===================

Finally, here's one of the files in /tmp that I wanted to delete from
Windows:
===================
-rwxr--r-- 1 nobody nogroup  87723 Nov 17  2004 dummy.html*
===================

Any idea what could be causing this issue?

Thank you.
