Re: 'recycle bin'-like functionality?

[Juan Pablo Sales ( juanaurinegro )]

It's ok, but it has several points.
First, an user will not be able to see his own deleted files.
Second, an user who already knows the name of a file, can delete it from
the wastebasket.
Another solution would be to create a wastebasket for each user, in his
home directory, with read and write permision for him.
