Hi. I have a fileserver running samba 2.2.7 and netatalk 1.5.5 for old mac clients. Because the mac's are quite spammy with creating .AppleDouble and other system directories, I've added the following to smb.conf: veto files = /.AppleDesktop/.AppleDouble/Network Trash Folder/TheFindByC ontentFolder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/System Volume Information/Recycled/ Now, when a windows client tries to delete a folder which a mac user has implicitly created eg. .AppleDouble, the delete fails because the windows client cannot "see" the file to delete: cannot remove "tiff2; the directory is not empty" The dir contains the .AppleDouble still, and the samba user does have proper permissions to delete this. Is this a known issue? Any workarounds? Br, Morten
