Hi,
right, it was indeed the Sophos antivirus :-(
Adding an exception to Sophos solved the problem of the read-only attribute
not being revoked upon locking a file.
But that is really annoying: this means we cannot have the files in the
repository virus checked. This is a SERIOUS disadvantage. Any chance of
getting around this?
Best,
Holger
