I have a requirement to configure an existing Cifs share so that files opened by one user can be deleted by another user.

I have removed the oplocks option from the cifsshare. What else do I have to do to achieve this ?

I'm not entirely sure that there's a lot you can do on the storage system. Locking is usually governed by the client application, which can specify what is supposed to happen when it opens a file. It can request a lock that disallows deletion, and this is honored on the storage system, but if the application does not do that then there's nothing you can do I think
