samba - Nov 2003 - RE Samba 3, recycle vfs and symbolic links

Perhaps using a MS-DFS share would be more useful in this case? This
would allow three real shares: \\server\accounting \\server\personal
\\server\public which would appear as \\server\users\accounting
\\server\users\personal \\server\users\public.

Hello!

I recently upgraded my samba system with samba 3, and now I'm starting
to use the recycle vfs, that I was not using in my previous
instalations. My problem is the following:

I have normaly 3 shares for each user, one is prived, one is for the
group (accounting, human resources, etc..) and the last one is public
(all can access).

In the machines, normally using Windows 98, I create one mapped drive
tho the users prived share, and each prived share has a symbolic link to
the group share and the public share (ln -s /home/accounting
accounting). The problem is that when the user goes through the symbolic
link from the prived share to the group share, for instance, and deletes
a file, the .recycle directory is created in the prived share, but is
empty (the file doesn?t goes to the .recycle folder).

Any ideas of how I can solve this problem? I really would keep just one
mapped driver per user, to make things easier for my users.
