Greetings.
I'm a newbie Samba user; I spent the entire weekend reading the
HOWTO's and various other tutorials and docs from around the web. So
if this is a naieve question, please don't hesitate the tell me to go
back and RTFM some more. :-)
I downloaded and compiled 3.0.0rc4 from source on a Mandrake 9.1
system (with all MDK updates installed) with the following configure
line:
./configure --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --prefix=/usr/local
I uninstalled the MDK-provided Samba 2.2.x RPMs to ensure that there
would be no conflict / confusion.
In the HOWTO Collection for the CVS HEAD
(http://us2.samba.org/samba/devel/docs/html/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#id2920556),
it makes reference to the recycle VFS module, and it sounds like
something that my users would like. So I followed the instructions
and added "vfs objects = recycle" in my smb.conf to the [homes]
service:
-----
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
only user = yes
user = %S
path = /home/data/samba/homes/%S
vfs objects = recycle
recycle:repository = .recycle
recycle:keeptree = 1
recycle:noversions = 1
-----
The module seems to load file (I can see messages to that effect in
the associated logfiles -- I have verbosity set at 2 while I'm
debugging), and when I delete a file from Windows Explorer, I can see
that it does move into the $share_root/.recycle/ directory on the
linux server.
But in Windows Explorer (from an XP Pro client), I do not see a
"recycle bin" icon in that share. And therefore, there does not
appear to be a way to "undelete"/restore this file. How do I get the
recycle bin icon to show for this share, like it does (for example)
with the local disks? (just to be sure, I checked the recycle bine
that is available for the local disk on the Windows client and my
deleted file is not listed there -- as one would expect :-).
Is there something else that I need to enable, or do I have something
silly in my smb.conf?
