Hi, I'm using Samba 3.0.24 in a LAN with Windows-only clients (Win2000/WinXP), and I've set it up to store DOS flags in extended attributes to make users happy: ea support = yes map archive = no map system = no map hidden = no store dos attributes = yes Now I was having a look at the current attributes in all my shared files, and was wondering about the mapping between those values and their "Windows meaning". I guessed most of them (and their possible combinations), but some are still a mistery to me; can anyone please confirm and/or complete my guesses? user.DOSATTRIB="0x0" = no dos flag is set (is this the same as no extended attributes at all?) user.DOSATTRIB="0x1" = readonly user.DOSATTRIB="0x2" = hidden user.DOSATTRIB="0x20" = archive user.DOSATTRIB="0x10" = what's this?? If applied to a file, makes it appear in Windows clients as being a folder! user.DOSATTRIB="0x6" = system file? I googled around but couldn't find anything, so I think this information can be useful to many. Thanks. -- Ciao, Marco.
