My impression is that you're asking the wrong question.

When using Samba, you're accessing files on a VMS system from an OS that doesn't 
have versioning in it's file system.  So, how then would the other OS know 
anything about versions?  Yes, you possibly could fudge it in Samba.  I'm 
thinking that that might lead to more problems than it might solve.

Just my idle thoughts ....
