How do I enable trash functionality on Samba shares?

  • 772

I have a successful samba server setup but it's rather annoying that when I delete a file I can only delete it permanently and not move it to the trash. So my question is, how do I enable trash functionality on a samba share? I'd prefer to get an explanation on how to do it by CLI since this setup is on Ubuntu Server 11.04 :)

The only article I found regarding this on the web is this tutorial for Red Hat: http://www.redhat.com/advice/tips/sambatrash.html

Please help me out here :)
