hi list, a buddy of mine would like to switch the fileserver of his existing office network (80+ employees) from novell to windoze, using samba, that is. as he got to know from some employees, the novell fileserver has a functionality that comes in quite handy: when users delete files that reside on the server, they'll be automatically stored in a "trash bin" on the novell fileserver for quite a while, allowing them easy restoring of accidently deleted data all by themselves. also, in the meantime those users got obviously quite used to simply deleting files rather quick where they think they don't need them anymore, always knowing they can bring them back anytime soon if it should be necessary. in order to convince the head clerk that samba is the way to go and to drop novell, it must have a similar functionality as explained above. does anyone have a clue if something like this is going to implemented, or probably is already implemented, or can be added by oneself somehow? thanks! best regards, markus (not subscribed, please reply directly) -- -ich brauch ne neue signatur-

It is based on work by Brandon Stone, Amherst College, <bbstone@amherst.edu> but modified to be a plugin Samba module (available on a per-share basis). This will do exactly what you want. Regards, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team.
