Good tip. I'm posting it to lists.samba.org so it will end up in the archives.
Thanks

As a side note, there is an option for the Mac clients to disable the
.DS_Store files from being created on network volumes. I always use
this on my clients because the .DS_Store creation will update the
modtime on the directory every single time a user goes to the
directory. It also causes the directory to open in the same view that
the last person was using, which tends to irritate users.
The command is "defaults write com.apple.desktopservices
DSDontWriteNetworkStores true" in the terminal.

I'm trying to copy files to a Samba share that I have set up on a
linux debian machine from a Mac running OS X, using samba 3.0.24.
The Mac complains that there is something wrong with the file name,
and then refuses to copy, and the operation leaves a zero-byte file
with the same name on the samba share.
I had similiar problems with Mac's when I had veto files = /.*/ in samba
share to pervent users from deleting their linux profile files from
Windows workstations. (OSx likes to create .DS_Store -files to it's
folders) For some reason files could be written to samba from Macs
terminal window. Chancing veto files to /.bash*/ fixed problem for me.
Thanks for the tip.
I had veto = /*.{*}/.*/mail/bin
- put in there by default by SWAT!
