samba - Nov 2001 - Hidden directories in the latest samba release

I have a question.

I have installed the latest samba release
from the source. My problem is that i can't
seem to be able to set the hidden flag on
the directories from windows. It does work
fine with the files.

This is what my share looks like.

[Data]
   comment = Data Share
   path = /home/data/data
   valid users = valid users here
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   map archive = yes
   map system = yes
   map hidden = yes
   create mask = 0765

Please let me know.

Thanks

The H bit maps onto the world-execute bit.
The 'x' bit is necessary to change to a directory.
We don't apply the DOS attribute maps to directories,
because of this (hint: what would happen if a
dircetory was non-hidden which is the norm?)
See smbd/dosmode.c for mode details.
