Yes, I feel I have to chime in here.  I have had one user who was used to
using their Recycle Bin as a temporary holding spot for documents on
standalone machines, if you can believe that.  They were quite upset when
they got to the network I was servicing and found out all their network
stuff was not coming out in the Recycle Bin after being deleted.
Sometimes I hate users :).  I agree, users have come to expect to be able
to undelete things and that should be a functionality that we can provide
if needed.

I have no clue on how to best implement it in Samba though :)
