How bad an idea is it to allow .exe files to be written?
Based on the snipit from http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba-unofficial.html
"To prevent access to suspicious files (e.g., those that tend to become infected by virus'), use the following. The last bit prevents access to files with a CLSID in the file extension.
veto files = /*.exe/*.dll/*.pif/*.com/*.vbs/*.{*}/"

These files are normal Windows type files - probably not a good idea to have them pass through a mail gateway but otherwise, it cramps the usability of a windows share.
