vfs_python

An experimental Samba module which lets you control execution of Samba actions in your own Python script.

Installation

You must have the Python headers installed (python-dev) and the Samba sourcecode lying around.

Clone this repository, then compile as follows:

./configure --enable-debug --enable-developer --with-samba-source=/path/to/samba/source3
make

Copy / symlink the resulting vfs_python.so to /usr/local/samba/lib/vfs/python.so (or wherever your VFS modules are).

In your smb.conf, enable vfs_python per share:

[myshare]
path = /tmp
vfs objects = python
python:script = /path/to/your/handler.py

and make sure that the script path is valid.

The Python code

Take a look at the handler.py to see how it looks like and which Samba calls are supported at the moment (hint: not too many).

When a user performs an action, the corresponding Python function will be called. You can either allow or deny that action by returning a boolean.

The Python script will be imported every time a user connects and is valid for the duration of the connection.

Current status

This is experimental, my C skills have plenty of room for improvement and if your Python code raises an exception the Samba daemon will crash. I plan to address all those things, but right now it is what it is. Any contribution is greatly appreciated. :)
