[Samba] Restricting file types

[Hamish]

This works well for file servers only, but there is a way round it which 
might be good to bear in mind -
Say you have blocked /*.php/*.asp/ to prevent samba users making scripts 
on your web server (i am guessing that you have shared your webroot?)
Now make a php file, rename it to file.txt and move it to the server - 
no problem. Once it is on the server, rename it to file.php. The file 
disappears, but only to samba users - the file is still there named 
file.php and can be accessed by anything other than samba (ie apache)
