With Samba 3.0.14a, an "access denied" error is returned if I try to rename a file that has the read-only attribute set (i.e. no owner "w" permission). This behavior is a regression from previous versions of Samba (e.g. 3.0.10) and inconsistent with Windows (which allows read-only files to be renamed). To reproduce: 1. On Windows (2000), map Y: to a Samba 3.0.14a share. 2. Open up Command Prompt and execute the following commands: Y:\>echo test > a Y:\>attrib +r a Y:\>attrib a A R Y:\a Y:\>ren a b Access is denied. Notice that the "ren" command fails with an "Access is denied" error. If I downgrade to 3.0.10 and execute the same commands, there is no error; the file is successfully renamed.
