Well, I disagree to that. I guess that different users have different
requirements. My use of a network recycle bin is NOT as a kind of filesystem
garbage collection, but as an "ohmygod" safety net for users. Only for files
delete through user interaction.
But I agree that the "veto recycle" option would be very useful. Especially
since it will be difficult (impossible?) for Samba to discover whether a
file deletion is through user interaction or not.
