I posted a notice of a problem some days ago that was about some error
messages I got trying to rewrite some files (subject : Failed to delete old
backup file: Access denied, date : 9/7/01). Turns out that these were files
that I restored manually from a CD and were "Read only" files. Adjusting the
properties of the files fixed the problem.

All files Windows copies from a CD are marked as read-only. It's a
Windows thing, as annoying as Linux treating almost all files from a
shared Windows drive as executables. I've lost a lot of hair when I
tried to recover ICQ and OE data from backup, as they kept coming up
with stupid error messages (Can't create default profile, Insufficient
disk space etc.) attrib -r /s c:\ fixed it :)
It's a lesson one has to learn the hard way. It won't happen again.

You can't change Windows behaviour, but you can change Linux. There
are (a lot) of mount options. Quite painful to go through, but it's
a kind of "setup once only". Now all my Windows files are unexecutables,
read-only to the world, and read-write to priviledged users.

I know, I was talking about the default smbmount behavior which is
generally enough for my purposes.
I've set up the follow-ups to off-topic just in case.
