This is not normal DOS semantics, but is allowed by UNIX. This option may be useful for running applications such as rcs, where UNIX file ownership prevents changing file permissions, and DOS semantics prevent deletion of a read only file. Default: delete readonly = no In general it is very bad idea to run tests on mounted directory even if it is mounted off NT server. SAMBA complicates things even more. -andrej
