[Samba] hp-ux samba windows client fails to delete directory

Please share more details on when the handle will remain open on the directory, and how to verify this behavior ? 

Regards,
Arjit

It depends. :) If user 2 with cwd in folder_b really has a open handle on that dir, then with strict rename enabled I'd expect the client attempting the delete should get a consistent error message.

I recommend taking a closer look at network traces and code.
