[Samba] failsafe against "stupid" / careless users
I'm admin on a samba PDC with 150 users, and as normal users they are quit "stupid". This means that they ofte deletes something that shouldnt have been deleted. And I find it anoying to restore their files from tapebackup. So would it be possible to get samba to "move" files instead of deleting them? This way I could allocate a disk to store deleted files for a periode of X days / weeks. If this isnt posible, maybe the samba team should consider this option. /Lasse
Lasse, I've not tried this personally, but this site has a patch to do such a thing: http://www.amherst.edu/~bbstone/howto/samba.html -----Original Message----- From: Lasse Taul Bjerre [mailto:lasse@bjerre.cx] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 4:01 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] failsafe against "stupid" / careless users I'm admin on a samba PDC with 150 users, and as normal users they are quit "stupid".

This is a common complaint. You would think that there would be a standard solution to it. I haven't seen one. Maybe one of the samba developers could tell us how samba deletes files. It might be an easy hack to fix up the source code to do what you want. Joel> I'm admin on a samba PDC with 150 users, and as normal users they are quit > "stupid".

This is absolutely Brilliant! I have been looking for something like this for quite a while now. Well done whoever wrote this!
