i thought that users coming to \\srv\in only can read file readme, but they can /DELETE/ this file !!!
Deleting a file requires write access to the _directory_ containing it. So if user "samba_quota" has write access to the directory, he also can delete any file in it. However, he can't delete files in a subdirectory (or the whole subdirectory) if he hasn't write permissions in that directory. (But he can delete empty directories, to be complete.) BTW: All I wrote isn't samba-specific. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Ausserdem bin ich ja zum Glück unkündbar... Sklaven werden verkauft und nicht gekündigt! ;-) [Thilo Alfred Bätzig in suse-linux]
