samba - Jan 1999 - hide dot files?

Hi all.  I have 'hide dot files = yes' in my [homes] section, but it
doesn't seem to work correctly.  What could I be doing wrong?  I'm using
2.0.0beta5, but I recall it not working with 1.9.x either...

I currently have the following in my [homes] section:

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   path = %H

Thanks,
Dave

Some of this "good, new Microsoft-Programms" like the Explorer or the 
commen "Open-File-Box" display hidden files as default. 
Start the good old file-manager, using "winfile", play with the 
Display Options, display the status-bits of the files, ...

Just a thought, because 'hide dot files = yes' works for me.

Hi

Did you configure windows du "display hidden files"?

Samba always reports dot-files when the client requestst a
directory-listing, but I marks them as hidden - It?s up to the client, if it
display the hidden-marked files.
