Also I understand from the samba development team that in theory it 
is posible to do such a function but it will create a lot of overhead 
meantaining the 'recycle bin' It just takes a lot of processor time and 
HD space.

Also think of this..
When M$ word opens a file, it copys a file to the same dir with a 
different name (~$ thing) when you are finnished working on that file 
a renaming and a deleting sequency takes place. Which in turn 
create a backup and that's not what you want.
Also I don't think de recicle bin on NT is working 'networked'. (I only 
use samba at my net)
