Short answer - no. Users should not be able to create these vetoed
files.
I'm not a Samba developer, so I have limited clout. But I was extremely
surprised at this feature -- at the very least, it should be mentioned in
smb.conf.
I don't think (IMHO) dropboxes (eg incoming/) should be implemented via
veto files (ie /.?*/*/ right?). Wouldn't a "chmod 333 incoming/" followed
by something in smb.conf like "force directory mode = 0300" and "directory
security mask = 0333" be sufficient? Details would vary depending on site
setup and exact behaviour desired.
Cheers
