Is there any way to prevent the storage of .DS_Store and the other miscellaneous files that Macs create? I tried adding a veto to the samba configuration, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks!

Hi dhoelzer,

Yes, we can do it. Your issue is samba conf is overwritten at each time you edit an user account or a share.

So I go to add some veto directives by default. Can you confirm me the list. I assume it is : .DS_Store ; .Trashes ; .TemporaryItems

Yes, that's the list of what I'm rejecting... Also, ._*

How do I set it up so that the vetos are re-added every time?

Ok,

You can not as smb.conf file it created by running a firmware script.

So I go to edit it for including them and send you to see if your issue is fixed

I need to do the same thing with afp server

Thank you very much! Which firmware script is it?

Hi dhoelzer,

I sent you a pm to install a patch.

Check if it works like you want.

Thanks for the patch! Sorry for the delay. I've been away for a few weeks.

Still, I'd be very interested to know where I can edit the smb.conf to permanently filter these files.

In the meantime, it looks like I'll have to set up a cronjob to delete them.
