VFS_READONLY(8)                                                                              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 connecting within the config-ured configured
       ured time period. Clients connecting during this time will be denied write access to all files in the
       share, irrespective of ther 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 between 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"
