Hi,

one of our users encountered a really strange problem: a specific file
could not be deleted
from windows.  No problem to copy or move the file, but delete or
writing to the file do not work.
Note that copies of the file can be deleted, but not the file itself. Also, no problem to do
anything with other files in the same directory.

From Unix there are no problems at all to deal with the file, including
to make more copies of
it that cannot be deleted from windows :-)

Servers are 1.4.11, Windows client is 1.5.66 but the behavior is the
same on older clients.

Any hints?  The file can be provided on request (contains private data).

What is the Unix mode on the file?   The file may be marked as readonly.
  The Windows readonly attribute is stored on the file as Unix mode 222.
 In Windows, a readonly file cannot be deleted until the readonly
attribute is cleared.
Thanks, this was the problem, except from that the read-only attribute in properties
were not shown as set.  If the file mode is:
-r--rwx---
then the file cannot be deleted but the read-only attribute is not shown as set either.
