Running on a mostly stock Redhat 8 server with smbd
2.2.7-security-rollup-fix I seem to be having a problem.

I have set up an account for all my students, and they all have smb
connections [full domain logins]. For accounting purposes I dropped a file
called students.txt [root:root rw-r--r--] into each student home.

Everything was good, except that they can delete the file. I just changed
the permissions to rw-------, and it is still owned by root:root, but they
can still delete the file. Is this a bug I should submit to the smbd
lists, am I doing something wrong, or is this expected behavior?

Also, does anyone know how to export the Linux users' GROUP into the
windows 98/XP login environment?
