+This will allow LON-CAPA to operate properly although
+the rules in SECTION 3 are violated.
 
-Of course (sigh...), if a user generates a directory with
-Windows and then logs into the Linux filesystem and
-creates a file under that directory, the file will

+Difficulty could still emerge though, if a user
+generates a directory with Windows and then logs
+into the Linux filesystem and creates a file under
+that directory (the file would, alas, be of the
+mode 0644 (-rw-r--r--)).
 
-So, the real solution would be to edit the samba source
-code and recompile samba.
+Currently, for cases like this, we consider it to
+be the responsibility of the user (who logs directly
+into the Linux filesystem) to make proper use of the
+'chmod' command.
