[Samba] Files monitoring through Samba

[Robinson, Eric]

Inotify is your best bet because otherwise you won't see files that are
created in any other way except through samba. There's lots of ways
files get added, changed, or deleted. inotify catches them all. Of
course, you have to combine it with inotifywait and a script for a full
solution.
