[ILUG] Samba Query

[Dale Dunlea]

Hi All,

We use Samba as our domain controller. Someone recently did something 
silly, and accidentally dragged an entire directory into another 
directory without noticing, thus "losing" it. He claims that he has 
worked on systems in the past which allowed creation and modification of 
a file, but not deletion. Now, to me this sounds a little silly. If you 
can modify a file, then you can truncate it to zero bytes, making 
inability to delete somewhat of a moot point. Nonetheless, I suppose it 
would make it harder for people to do stupid things.

Does such a feature exist in Samba, and if not, can someone at least 
tell me it doesn't exist in windows either such that I can refute his claim.

Thanks in advance,
Dale.
