samba - Mar 2003 - Hide files in samba share using Window

Hi,

The following is done on a samba share:-

When I want to hide files in on the Windows interface, I right-click the file
and check on the hidden attribute, but the file still appears there.  Must I
rename the file with a dot in front in order to hide it?  Any alternative to
allow the use of Windows interface to hide it?

Thanks.

I don't have "show hidden file" chosen from Microsoft.

After I check the "hidden" attribute using Windows, I right-click
again and the "hidden" box is still uncheck !!!

also make sure that you do not have show hidden file chosen from 
Microsoft or it will still show hidden files.

Did you try:

       map hidden (S)
              This controls whether DOS style hidden files should
              be mapped to the UNIX world execute bit.

              Note  that  this requires the create mask to be set
              such that the world execute bit is not  masked  out
              (i.e.   it  must  include  001).  See the parameter
              create mask for details.

              Default: map hidden = no
