Thanks Robin, I'm not sure if my Samba was compiled with the vfs options but I'll set up a test machine with 2.2.8a and see what happens :-). As far as the users accessing the .recycle directory I won't be too concerned... in fact I probably won't even tell then it exists, if it works I can earn a few chocolate bars for "doing something very complex and technical" to recover lost files for them :-)))
