vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period
vfs objects = readonly
This VFS module is part of the
samba(7) suite.
The vfs_readonly VFS module marks a share as read only for all clients
connecting within the configured time period. Clients connecting during this
time will be denied write access to all files in the share, irrespective of
their actual access privileges.
This module is stackable.
readonly:period = BEGIN, END
Only mark the share as read only if the client connection
was made between the times marked by the BEGIN and END date specifiers. The
syntax of these date specifiers is the same as that accepted by the -d option
of GNU date(1).
Mark all shares read only:
[global]
vfs objects = readonly
Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours:
[backup]
path = /readonly
vfs objects = readonly
readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00"
This man page is part of version 4.8.7 of the Samba suite.
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew
Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project
similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
