.AppleDouble causes problems for SAMBA

[Barry Dexter A. Gonzaga]

gooday!
   i think a workaround would be to show hidden files in
   samba config and then setting windows explorer to show
   hidden files. then windoze can delete .appl* files.
   i also have the same setup but only export one users
   homedir, the rest i share it via http-publicfile[djb].
