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 configured 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"
