I'm working with samba 1.9.18p10-7, on a i586 with debian linux v2.1. I'm trying to personalize windows95/98 on a multiuser/shared PC instalation and I want to include a Historial folder somewhere in the home directory of every user on a centralized server. This way any user could log on from any PC (in a classroom for example) an may have their own configuration for the Internet Explorer, and could access their own Historial files. I've found a problem with this and samba. For the Historial folder to work, the DOS system bit of the FOLDER must be set, because this enable this folder as a Historial folder, and enable the historial view of its contents (like this system bit enable also the font view of the fonts folder). As I know, my current version of samba don't enable the DOS system bit on directories. I can set or unset it but this is not reflected as changes on the DOS folder attributes. Is a problem of my samba version or of my configuration? Is there any version that "honour" theses DOS attributes? Is there, perhaps, a registry "hack" of windows95/98 that could enable the historial view on folders without the system bit set? Thanks an advance and excuse my english. P.S: I don't include my samba configuration because may be too large for this message. I can email you if this may be the problem. Manuel P?rez Ayala Administrador del Sistema F.

However, changing these bits makes directories unusable (to some extent) :-(> Is there, perhaps, a registry "hack" of windows95/98 that could enable the > historial view on folders without the system bit set?Perhaps, but I am afraid only M$ programmers know anything about it.> Thanks an advance and excuse my english.OK ;-) Michal
