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
