Hi Jeremy, after commenting out part of the line following the infamous quote "We never make directories read only for the owner..." in "samba/source/smbd/dosmode.c" as follows:
- result |= (S_IFDIR | S_IWUSR); + result |= (S_IFDIR /* | S_IWUSR /* 2002/12/01*/ ); I can make my own directories read-only. The advantage is that with this modification "special" folder links get stored on samba server with correct attributes and can be recovered with them at every new login, thus preserving the "magic" of so many tricky treats in the profile. The disadvantage is that if I wants to create another file or delete an existing one from such read-only directory, I need to first restore writeability (remove read-only). The advantage far offsets the disadvantage. Thanks a lot for the tip.
