NAME
vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = readonly
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
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).
EXAMPLES
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"
VERSION
