I think the OP needs to get his samba config changed - that seems to me
to be the real issue. I wasn't actually aware 'dot' files could be
prohibited under samba - and my own OOo v3 running under XP works very
happily using a samba share.

I will try to explain my problem with the dot-Files:
The server is set up to supply windows- and linux-clients. The
linux-clients needs a lot of dot-files in the homes of the user.
These files should not be visible using the windows-clients. For this
purpose there is the Veto-file-statement in the smb.conf-file. It
has never been a problem before.
I would be glad to get a change in the behaviour of OOo-3.
I see the problem, but you're IMO still tackling the wrong issue. I
agree dot files are a pain when looking at a samba share - but they are
classed as hidden files when accessed via samba (at least from XP) - so
aren't visible unless explorer is showing these. For most users, showing
hidden files is a bad idea anyway, so explorer should be thus set up. In
which case it becomes a non-issue.
