[Bug 427718] [NEW] owner of sticky directory cannot delete files created by others

[Theodore Pham]

Public bug reported:

Samba bug #6297 - owner of sticky directory cannot delete files created by others.
Full bug description and patch here:

  http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-cvs/2009-June/092336.html

This has already been fixed in the Samba code base and released as part
of Samba 3.3.5. (See 3.3.5 release notes
http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.3.5.html)

Would it be possible for the patch to be applied to the jaunty samba
package (3.3.2)?

I have a server that uses the sticky directory bit for Dropbox folders
and currently the owners of the Dropboxes cannot delete files submitted
by others even though they are supposed to be able to.  I'd rather not
have to install a newer samba manually or co-opt the karmic samba
sources when this small patch could fix things.
