Tried it, didn't like the results
Authored by: jasonbergman on Jan 13, '03 11:39:00AM

I had this set for a while, but discovered that doing this was preventing me from copying whole folders over to my fileserver. What happened is that every time I tried to do it, I'd get a permissions error because it wouldn't let me copy .DS_store files.

I turned it off, and it worked just fine.

You need to also set

delete veto files = yes

in your smb.conf. That lets you delete folders that already contain "vetoed" files (those files will be deleted along with the folder).

veto config doesn't help for ._*
Authored by: magir on Nov 10, '04 11:23:14AM

The both veto lines in the smb.conf don't resolve the problem of ._*-files appearing. When I add the ._*/ clause it's not possible to create any files on the server (or at least to do that properly, the finder starts copying and fails).

So it solves the problem for .DS_STORE but not for ._* - sadly :-(.
