I have done a quick test on SME 5.6 (Samba 2.2.7) and it seems to work very well. I am impressed.
Thanks for the pointer RequestedDeletion.

Can you describe exactly what you did.
did you made a template or just adjust smb.conf

Create /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/11networkrecyclebin

vfs object = /usr/lib/samba/vfs/recycle.so
vfs options = /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/52recycle

then

create /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/52recycle

[recycle]
name = .recycle
mode = KEEP_DIRECTORIES|VERSIONS|TOUCH
maxsize = 0
exclude = *.tmp|*.temp|*.o|*.obj|~$*
excludedir = /tmp|/temp|/cache
noversions = *.doc|*.xls|*.ppt

and

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf
service smb restart

Done

still need script to empty recycle  

find /home/e-smith/files/*/*/*/.recycle  -type f -atime +10 -exec rm {} \;



Maybe I forget something, but try it....

Nice one, this could save quite a few users!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a script to empty the recycle bin.

Isn't that the users job when they run out of space, certainly the recycle bin in a default install of windows doesn't empty it out.

Many people would be very anoyed to find that they come back after the weekend, decide they need that file after all only to find that it was gone because it was deleted last Monday and so a week had gone by.

Opinions any one?

Craig

When I do this part:
pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/11networkrecyclebin
And then try and save the file pico says:
"Cannot open file for writing no such file or directory"
Am I having a bad day or what?

Try to go to the dir :

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/
and then try
pico 11networkrecyclebin

maybe this works

Can you be more specific.

Hi,
I do all the steps, exactlly.
I expand the template.
I restart smb.
On my windows based workstation after doing this I can not access any of my ibays.
If I restore the smb.conf and restart smb I am good to go.
