[Samba] disallowing copying files to the shares by extension

[Erol YILDIZ]

hi again and thanks all suggestions,

i did veto to the home shares which provides roaming profiles inside. I
think roaming profiles doesn't simply copy the files to the server. If it
did like that there is no way to write the *.mp3 etc. files that I did  
veto.
I think the clients send roaming profile files in a different way to the
server.
