Hi,
I have used the "veto files" flags for my users home directory shares.
The syntax is as follows,
veto files = /.*/
This is to hide all the dot files in the samba client.
I stoped and restarted samba and sure enough the dot files do not get listed.
One problem that has showed up is, when I try to save a file from the samba
client (windows system) to the samba server, I get the "Error Copying
File"
message box,
"Cannot copy xyz:A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify
a different filename"
This happens to any file that I am trying to move to the samba server.
Is there any other directive that should be used along with "veto
files"
directive?
Thanks in advance.

Since that did not work, I went along with the "veto file" directive. The "veto files" directive worked but would not allow me to write any files to the directory. After you note, I tried it again to test it. The "hide dot files" alone does not hide the dot files. The "vet file" with the the file syntax will hide those files. -- Subba Rao subb3@attglobal.net http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/

You are trying to hide and veto all files and directories under "." which is the current directory, very bad stuff. ;P -- Mike Fedyk "They that can give up essential liberty Information Systems to obtain a little temporary safety Match Mail Productions Inc. deserve neither liberty nor safety." mfedyk@matchmail.com Ben Franklin
