Yes, I was looking over my setup on my Fedora 3 ext3 FS and think that
for Samba to now show the "dot" file would be good even though it had
been suggested that we just map the user into a lower directory.
I think that the "hide dot files" directive should actually prevent the
user from seeing or interacting with these file in their account.
Additionally, I still cannot figure out how to have Samba (or the
windows side perhaps) popup as user login & password window when I run a
local machine batch file like:
C:> NET USER * \\172.16.0.1
You see when the VPN has completed making the connection then we will
execute this command so that the user can login to their account and as
we do not know the username ahead of time on the Windows machine then we
cannot really run a net command like:
C:> NET USER * \\172.16.0.1\lonnie
Any ideas on this as well?
Thanks,
Lonnie

Just tried the "hide" directives and they do not work. At least not on
Windows XP and I am also using Samba 3.0.20 so I think that these are
broken features that could be very useful if they can be made to work.
What underlying UNIX filesystem are you using ? If using ext3 or something
with extended attributes then the dos attributes are read from a UNIX ea,
and the "hide dot files" isn't currently executed. I can change that, but
I'm wondering if this is indeed what you're seeing.
