samba - Feb 1999 - hiding .xdefaults and .bash files from Win95 view in home directories

I am mapping our H: drives to each person's home directory on our Linux
box using Samba.  Windows explorer sees the .xdefaults and .bash files
which will confuse our users.  Is there a way to configure Samba so that
these files cannot be seen from Win95/98?

"hide dot files" is your friend (this means: RTFM, indeed :-)
