AW: 1.5.16-1: chmod problem


Hello
I took a look at the drive properties ones more.
The following acl rights has been given me by the network administrator:
  - change file permission:	no
  - all others:			yes

Unfortunately the Windows has a special attribute 'write protection'
which can be set in the mask for file's attribute.
So there is a kind of conflict now. Despite I can't change file permissions (in the acl)
I can every time set/reset the bit 'write protection'.
I see, it is very interesting feature of the so called operating system.
There is the question at this place:
Should the implementation of chmod allow the setting/resetting of the 'write protection' bit
in spite of the missing permission 'change file permission' in the acl ?

Yes.  Opening the file fails with "access denied" and then chmod has
no file handle to work with.

I'm sorry but I tried with 1.5.15 and 1.5.16 and I couldn't find a
situation in which this happens for me.
