Ralph can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the MacOS SMB client
converts schg to the DOS readonly attribute. How this is applied to the
samba server depends on samba's configuration. The default is to write it
inside the user.DOSATTRIB xattr for the file. In the case of FreeNAS we
convert DOS readonly to FreeBSD's urdonly file flag. In this case readonly
is enforced by kernel / filesystem, but behavior differs from schg.  I
presume when you write to do the same to a MacOS SMB server it sets uchg on
the other side?
