We have an odd permissions issue. With the following share and dir perms, a
member of the User group can rename a folder on one share volume from the
same server, but not in another.

Share: Projects
Permissions: Admins F, Guests R, Users C

A single folder in the Projects Share has the following dir perms applied

Folder: ProjectStartupFiles
Permissions: Admin F, Users R

Now, from what I remember, dir perms are the sum of the least restrictive
and when compared with share perms, the most restrictive of the two applies.
Therefore a member of the users group would have RO rights to the
ProjectStartupFiles folder, correct? In this case a member of the User
group can rename the restricted folder. Ironically, this is not a problem
with a similar setup with a different share on the same server.

I'm just trying to figure out whether I'm losing it and should pursue
another profession... (no comments please).
