|
| veto files = /.AppleDesktop/.AppleDouble/Network Trash Folder/TheFindByC
| ontentFolder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/System Volume Information/Recycled/
|
| Now, when a windows client tries to delete a folder which a mac user has
| implicitly created eg. .AppleDouble, the delete fails because the
| windows client cannot "see" the file to delete:
|
|   cannot remove "tiff2; the directory is not empty"
|
| The dir contains the .AppleDouble still, and the samba user does have
| proper permissions to delete this.
|
| Is this a known issue? Any workarounds?

See "delete veta files" in smb.conf(5)
