[OpenIndiana-discuss] An odd permissions issue...

[Ron McDowell]

New to the group [and therefore jumping into the middle of a thread :) ] 
after a long Solaris hiatus, but I was a user of, and developer on, 
every Solaris version thru 2.5.1.

How are your permissions on the parent directory?  Samba may not allow 
you to remove a directory, even if you own it, if you don't have write 
access to the parent.
