Samba share and file attributes

[Stephen]

I dont recall samba being able to do this, but its been a while since
i have tried.

If your Linux box can be redone, and you have an actual windows server
someplace on the network it might be easier to set up an iSCSI
connection to the server and then share the data.

or maybe look into a new structure. IE make the smb what you need for
the windows clients then allow the Linux clients to access the same
data via NFS and set read only that way
