[Samba] filtering user files

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Yes, I think that you are right Kevin.

Just tried the "hide" directives and they do not work. At least not on 
Windows XP and I am also using Samba 3.0.20 so I think that these are 
broken features that could be very useful if they can be made to work.

Thanks,
Lonnie
