I know this probably breaks every network file transfer tradition, as in, normally when ya delete a file it is gone, but would it be possible to make samba dump deleted files to some other directory, we could even call it recylcer (grin). Something like this would be a godsend for my idiot users that often delete things on the server, then come yelling at me when it doesn't appear in their recycle bin, you get a statement like, well I don't use a TEMP directory at home, I just put in the recycle bin until I want it later. Just an idea.... kris
