I have not tried version 2 of samba but I have read the documentation for
version two and it seems to have all the same features, althoug the syntax
is slightly different. This is what I have in my smb.conf. So far I can
see that a directory .recycle is created but it does not show up in my
windows browser, yet. I still have to get to the point where users can
restore items.
