On the lines of the following post, is it possible to have samba
invoke a shell command along the lines of 'root preexec' etc.
for most of the useful Samba events?
This would allow very powerful and flexible customisation of
Samba installations.
The following query would then be solved by having smbclient
send a message.
A few events I can think of would be:-
Initial log-on.
Auto reconnects
Auto disconnects
logout
quota soft limit
quota hard limit
file open
file close
directory open
directory close
Some of these would be useful in working around M$ limitations:
EG. When Word edits a file, a new file is created, not necessarily
with the same ownership and permissions as the original. A script
run on file close could correct these.
The possibilities are legion.
