samba - Mar 2011 - Restrict file types to be saved in a samba server

Hi,

I have a Samba server, it's main goal is to store documents of all users 
of the network. Certain users abuses and save mp3, mov, jpg, gif and 
other files that must be saved in other file server, so I need to 
restrict the those type files and allow my users save only office files 
like .doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, .pdf

thanks for your help.

Bayardo.

I don't know if there's a samba facility for this, but I know that you 
can accomplish an effective facsimile of this using a cronjob that 
deletes any of the specified types.

We have the "veto files" option which can block certain file
types.
