Samab Recycle Bin

assumes you have samba 3-x.x installed. This can be verified by the following command:

rpm -q samba

If you do not have the required version of Samba installed we have articles on how to update/install the correct version of Samba.

To implement the network recycle folder Samba uses a Virtual File System (VFS) module. The various VFS modules that Samba can use are in the local directory: //usr/lib/samba/vfs

Documentation on the options for the recycle.so module and other VFS modules can be found in the local directory //usr/share/doc/samba-x.x/docs/Samba-HOWTO-collection.pdf under chapter 19 or on the following website: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/VFS.html

vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
