samba - Feb 2003 - How to protocol file changes, deletions

Hi all,
 
I am new to this list and have a particular problem, which I cannot get
info on:
 
We have several departments and those have rw access to their respective
shares. Every once in a while, users inadvertently delete a directory
and somebody will eventually contact me to restore this directory from
the backup.
 
I would really like to find out who is deleting such directories or
files as to correct the situation through training or otherwise.
 
Can this be done by changing the log level or do I need secondary
software to monitor such changes / deletions?
 
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
 
Cheers from Munich,
 
vmanns

There are a couple of vfs modules which might be helpful.  vfs_recycle 
and vfs_audit.  Unfortunately I don't know much about them, but they 
have been discussed on the list quite a few times, so searching the 
archives for those two items will help to get you started.

ps  I had a good time in Munich when I went for Oktoberfest!  At least 
I think I did.

I have tried this post before, under a different Subject line.

I am trying to share CD images, or rather, I AM sharing CD images, but 
run into trouble when many clients access the same mounted image.  Can 
anyone make any suggestions on the best smb.conf options to use in this 
case.

  Some shares need to be mapped by windows.  Some work with network path.

TIA
