NAME

6       vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = readonly
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14       The vfs_readonly VFS module marks a share as read only for all clients
15       connecting within the configured time period. Clients connecting during
16       this time will be denied write access to all files in the share,
17       irrespective of their actual access privileges.
18
19       This module is stackable.
20

OPTIONS

22       readonly:period = BEGIN, END
23           Only mark the share as read only if the client connection was made
24           between the times marked by the BEGIN and END date specifiers. The
25           syntax of these date specifiers is the same as that accepted by the
26           -d option of GNU date(1).
27

EXAMPLES

29       Mark all shares read only:
30
31                   [global]
32                vfs objects = readonly
33
34       Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours:
35
36                   [backup]
37                path = /readonly
38                vfs objects = readonly
39                readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00"
