samba - Feb 2006 - hiding dot files and the printer

Hi.  Running Samba 3.0.20 on Slackware 10.2.

I cannot hide my unix dot files (.bash_history) using the 'hide files'
or
'veto files' settings:

hide files = /.*/     { or just .* }

Also, how do I get rid of the printer folder in the top level of my share?

Might try /\.\*/  if this argument takes regular expressions. Your using
special characters there.

for the "dot" files...
how about "hide dot files = yes" in the shares you want them hidden.

man smb.conf

Err... "hide dot files = yes"?  "man smb.conf" is most
informative ;-)
