The best option is to have a “Recycle bin” for every users on the samba server. Here is an example of modifying the home directories of your users in samba configuration file

  [homes]
  comment = Home Directory
  valid users = %S
  browsable = no
  guest ok = no
  read only = no
  vfs object = recycle
  recycle:repository = RecycleBin
  recycle:keeptree = yes
  recycle:exclude = *.tmp, *.bak

The “vfs object” line calls in the plug-in that enables recycle bin capability. On the other lines, you’re setting the name of the recycle bin directory, telling Samba to preserve the whole structure of any directories that a user may delete, and finally, telling it to not keep certain types of files.

The winbindd deamon can log its status to the winbind log file upon request using the signal USR2.

If debuglevel is set to 2 or above, the windbindd dameon will also print the list of clients currently active.

 # killall -USR2 winbindd

The winbind log level can be set separately in the smb.conf (/etc/samba/smb.conf) file using the “log level” option, for example:

  log level = 2 winbind:3

 # service winbind reload
