Re: [Samba] macintosh file clutter on samba filesystems.

[Ed Kasky]

Under Macintosh OSX .DS_Store holds the information which controls the way 
a folder will be opened; i.e., the shape and size of the window, the 
position of the window on the desktop and whether file, folder or icon view 
has been selected. If you delete the .DS_Store the folder would revert to 
the system default next time it is opened and a new blank .DS_Store would 
appear (invisibly).

I for one gave up trying to clean them up. At one point I was running a 
script to clean them up until I found out what they were used for.

So, I live with them as long as it makes the mac happy ;-)

I have a client who has a bunch of macs accessing some samba shares, and
they write these  ._filename and .DS_STORE  files all over the place, he
would perfer it to not write these files at all. Anyone ran into this
issue? what would be the best way to prevent these files from getting
written onto the shares?  veto?
