Re: [TCLUG:22614] Hidden files with samba

[barnabas@knicknack.net]

In the smb.conf file there is an option, map hidden, which, if true,
uses the executable by others bit (0001) on Un*x files as the hidden
bit for DOS files.  I think it is off by default.  You may want to
check whether you really want to use it.
