samba - Mar 2009 - Set "hidden" attribute on folder

Hi list

I have set up a share with "map hidden = yes", "create mask =
0777" and "directory mask = 0777".
Setting and removing the "hidden" attribute on a file works as
expected, but not on folders.
If I check the unix permissions on the folders, the execute bit is always set
for "other".

Is this not implemented ?

I know it is possible to manually hide folders by adding them in "hide
files", but I would like users and applications to be able to set this
attribute themselves.

Regards

Use "store dos attributes = Yes" instead. It works as you want.

Please note that the filesystem must be mounted with the mount option 
"user_xattr".

With this set, you can discard "map read only", "map
hidden", "map
system" and "map archive". It works much better now.

See "man smb.conf"
.
