You can use the "hide files" directive, but windows clients can override it with a "show hidden files" option in the tools menu of a directory window. If most users have the default view options, this is an excellent way to hide the files. "veto files" works too. If the macintosh clients are accessing the share via netatalk or some other appletalk-on-unix service, then the veto files directive will not affect them at all. And likely, if they are using MacOSX windows networking, it won't prevent them from accessing the share, but they may be annoyed about how it looks. Here's what I have: veto files = /Network Trash Folder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/Desktop Folder/TheFindByContentFolder/Temporary Items/.DS_Store/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
