Title: Preventing certain files
Post by: kryptos on June 08, 2009, 04:50:59 AM

Hi all,

We have an SME 7.4 as fileserver.Is it possible to prevent users from storing unwanted files(e.g mp3, avi) can this be possible?


regards,
Rocel

You could audit the system, or create a script to search and delete certain files, would that be enough?

you could just search for the extensions:

Code: [Select]

updateb
locate *.mp3
O create the script , that will run everyday and send the files to /dev/null or somewhere else.
If the script will do, I can help with that.

You might be looking for the veto files directive: http://marc.info/?l=samba&m=121698864028014&w=2

Here is more on it (just above half way down the page):
