VFS_READONLY(8) 	   System Administration tools		 VFS_READONLY(8)

NAME
     vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period

SYNOPSIS
     vfs objects = readonly

DESCRIPTION
     This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

     The vfs_readonly VFS module marks a share as read only for all clients con-
     necting  within  the configured time period. Clients connecting during this
     time will be denied write access to all files in the share, irrespective of
     their actual access privileges.

     This module is stackable.

OPTIONS
     readonly:period = BEGIN, END
	 Only mark the share as read only if the client connection was made  be-
	 tween the times marked by the BEGIN and END date specifiers. The syntax
	 of  these date specifiers is the same as that accepted by the -d option
	 of GNU date(1).

EXAMPLES
     Mark all shares read only:

		 [global]
	      vfs objects = readonly

     Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours:

		 [backup]
	      path = /readonly
	      vfs objects = readonly
	      readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00"
