We're getting very close now to having our RH6.1 server as we want it. Just a few anoying things left to iron out so we can trial it properly prior to going live. One of them is the "veto files" option in smb.conf. We want to stop users on Win95 clients from seeing (or deleting) the dot-files in their home shares. I've tried the above option, I've tried "hide dot files" but nothing works. I've upgraded from the RH6.1 default of Samba 2.0.5a to 2.0.6 this morning in the hope that it may cure the problem, but it hasn't. All the documentation I have shows I'm doing nothing wrong. Does anyone have any bright ideas?

Many people have the same problem, I think it's a bug. I wrote about it to samba-bugs when it was still functional. I have it in my list of 2.0.6 problems to send to the samba-team when they'll start to prepare 2.0.7. -- giulioo@pobox.com
Another way to skin that cat is to have Samba home dir access go to a subdirectory: [homes] path=/home/%U/samba valid users=%U root preexec=mkdir /home/%U/samba You can test for existance before of the ./samba dir before making it.

Does anyone have any bright ideas?The workaround I use is:- [home] comment = User Home directories path = /home/%u/shared read only = No Then, they can't get at them at all... Not perfect, but it does the job. Mike.
