samba - Apr 2002 - AFP_Resource files when copying files from NTFS volumes via explorer

Hello,

I din't find any infos about this "problem" in the archives, nor
in the
different nttp groups

We have multiple NT 4.0 servers with AFP activated.
When we copy files via the windows explorer from a W2K workstation to a
linux samba server, then we always get multiple files on the samba
drive.

We gat a file named like the original file on the NT server, OK
We get sometimes file named <original-filename>:AFP_Resource:$DATA
We get sometimes file named <original-filename>:AFP_AfpInfo:$DATA

According to this link, 

http://faqchest.dynhost.com/linux/ATALK/linux-99/linux-9906/linux-990602/linux99061112_03485.html

this are the additional streams present in the NTFS filesystem for the
macintosh resource parts.

We use those servers since 3-4 years now, and until the last samba
upgrade to 2.2.3a-15 (On SuSE 7.2Prof.) we didn't get those additional
files.


Any ways to either supress those files when copying them via explorer,
or make them in the "correct" .AppleDouble folder as used by netatalk

When I copy the files via windows commander (something like norton
commander for windows) then those additional files don't get created.

It was a bug that got added sometime around 2.2.3. I've now fixed this
(ie. they're suppressed) in the SAMBA_2_2 CVS and HEAD branches so it'll
be fixed in 2.2.4.
