Comment 7 for bug 268663

Yes, this is the problem. Once somebody places any file into this folder,
this file has owner: nobody group: nobody.
So this means that I cannot delete (because I don't own them) the files
created on my share folder! (I need to go to command line chown, etc...) If
some user wants to do it they can fill up my computer's harddrive with junk
I cannot delete!
