hide dotfiles not working.

[Eddie Irvine]

Just started with Samba a few weeks ago so am
still a newbie. Am serving a single W-95 client
reasonably well - it allows users to log on using
their unix id and passwd, and they can all browse
their unix home directories. However ....
 
I can't seem to get the "hide dotfiles" directive to work.
Nor the "hide files"! 
 

Also, If a user on W-95 saves a file to unix called,
say, "Joe Smith.doc", I want it to stay as 
"Joe Smith.doc" , not be saved as "joe smith.doc" .
(I assume there is nothing wrong with wanting this)

These do not stike me as a complicated directives -
what am I doing wrong?
 
  
Help!
