Some strange CVS weirdness happening here. I had SAMBA_TNG tags in my
head branch CVS/Entries file leading to lots of fun and games. )-: (This used to be commit bb07eceddb0552ff17ba9db94ae81f58226be4b5)

+README for Samba Virtual File System (VFS) Examples
+===================================================
+
+This directory contains some sample code to demonstrate VFS
+construction. The following VFS modules are given:
+
+ skel
+ A skeleton VFS module. When used, this module simply
+ passes all requests back to the disk functions (i.e it
+ operates as a passthrough filter). It should be
+ useful as a starting point for developing new VFS
+ modules.
+
+ audit
+ A simple module to audit file access to the syslog
+ facility. The following operations are logged: share
+ connect/disconnect, directory opens/create/remove,
+ file open/close/rename/unlink/chmod.
+
+ streamer
+ Stream file writes to a network address instead of to
+ disk.
+
+ perlfs
+ A wrapper for writing Samba VFS modules in Perl.
+
+The modules need only to be compiled with -I/samba/source/dir added to
+CFLAGS.
+
+Further documentation on writing VFS modules for Samba can be found in
+docs directory of the Samba source distribution.
