[Samba] Samba logging behavior on new files

[Bala]

Hi,

Firstly I would like to say about the problem.

Whenever new file is created by samba clients in samba directory
shares, they should be moved to another directory.

The solution is very straight forward.  My VFS module keeps list of
fds when a file is opened with write/read-write flag in open() vfs 
function.  On close() vfs function, if passed fd is in list of fds 
made in open() function, is moved to well known directory.

I started modifying skel_transparent.c file and kept only connect(),
disconnect(), open() and close() functions.

I hope this gives some clarity.

Thanks,

Regards,
Bala
