Re: [expert] Samba hide "." prefixed dirs?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply David.

hide dot files = yes
I added this to the [global] section of smb.conf.  However the dot 
files/dirs were still visible unless i configure hide dirs in windows.

veto files /^.*/
I added this too, but it gave a warning that it was unsupported on the 
console when ever I mounted one of my old machines on my LAN. does it 
only work with Version 2.2.6pre2 or later? (my other machine is Version 
2.0.10-ja-1.1)

Couple this with the Windows Explorer setting. Make sure you run the latest
version of Samba as there was an issue with the veto files token not working
correctly.

Hi,

If you mean you don't want them seen on the windows box, it's the show
hidden
files setting in windows explorer.
I did think there was an smb.conf option as well as this explorer option.

I'm sure I saw it before, now when I need it I can't find it!
