Can 'Recycle Bin' be enabled for CIFS and OS 6.1.2 on a 314?
The older 4.x version of the OS allowed a Recycle Bin when using CIFS. Is this possible on the new OS 6.1.2? I noticed a recycle.conf file in '/data/._share/media' containing: 25000,0

As far as I know, the samba directory should be already present, even in the last version located at:
'/etc/frontview/samba'. If the 'addons' directory does not exist, create it.
If you need help using 'vi', search google; here is one of the links I found: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/12_15_en.html
I have succussfully been using this technique with 6.1.2 to the latest 6.1.8

ls -l

mkdir addons
cd addons
# Create/edit the addons.conf file and add configuation information as incicated in the earlier post
vi addons.conf
