veto files and Office 2000

[IT.Helpdesk at lincolnelectric.com.au]

Matthew,

Try this :
veto files = /.?*/

The current directory in unix is represented by '.' and therefore vetoing '.*'
includes
the current directory, hence trying to change a file in the home directory will
be
denied, but by adding the ? it only means that files with more than one
character
starting with '.' are vetoed - this worked for me.

Subject:  veto files and Office 2000




I was wondering if anyone has had an experience similar to this:

We are running Samba 2.0.7 on Solaris 2.6.

veto files = /.*/

conflicts with MS Office 2000.  One can access files on shares with no problem.
However, if you try and place an image into a PowerPoint presentation, for
example, via the Insert -> Picture -> From File menu option, you get a
permission error.  I first thought it might be a Windows 2000 issue, but later
figured out it is tied ONLY to Excel/Word/PowerPoint 2000.  All other apps on
Win2k are fine.  Disabling 'veto files = /.*/' fixed the problem.
