Is there no way of preventing the Mac from creating these files when browsing server disks ?
Depends on the server OS.
On Win2k or Win2k3 there is no way I've found of preventing them, but I haven't looked too hard; there probably is.
On Samba-based systems you can do the following in the smb.conf file.
Add these two lines to each section defining a share:
veto files = /.DS_Store/ delete veto files = yes
Now those annoying files will never appear. (or rather, the system deletes them right away)
