VFS_WORM(8)		  System Administration	tools		   VFS_WORM(8)

NAME
       vfs_worm	- disallows writes for older file

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = worm

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

       The vfs_worm module controls the	writability of files and folders
       depending on their change time and a adjustable grace period.

       If the change time of a file or directory is older than the specified
       grace period, the write access will be denied, independent of further
       access controls (e.g. by	the filesystem).

       In the case that	the grace period is not	exceed,	the worm module	will
       not impact any access controls.

OPTIONS
       worm:grace_period = SECONDS
	   Period in seconds which defines the time how	long the write access
	   should be handled by	the normal access controls. After this grace
	   period the file or directory	becomes	read only.

EXAMPLES
       Deny the	write access to	files and folders, which are older than	five
       minutes (300 seconds):

		[wormshare]
		vfs objects = worm
		worm:grace_period = 300

VERSION
       This man	page is	part of	version	4.20.7 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR
       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by

       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
