VFS_WORM(8) System Administration tools VFS_WORM(8)NAMEvfs_worm - disallows writes for older file
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = worm
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_worm module controls the writability of files and folders
depending on their change time and a adjustable grace period.
If the change time of a file or directory is older than the specified
grace period, the write access will be denied, independent of further
access controls (e.g. by the filesystem).
In the case that the grace period is not exceed, the worm module will
not impact any access controls.
OPTIONS
worm:grace_period = SECONDS
Period in seconds which defines the time how long the write access
should be handled by the normal access controls. After this grace
period the file or directory becomes read only.
EXAMPLES
Deny the write access to files and folders, which are older than five
minutes (300 seconds):
[wormshare]
vfs objects = worm
worm:grace_period = 300
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.2 of the Samba suite.
