My web site - Setting this option to yescauses an occasional surprise
Setting this option to yescauses an occasional surprise on Unix when a user notices that a data file is marked as executable, but rarely causes harm. If a user tries to run it, he or she will normally get a string of error messages as the shell tries to execute the first few lines as commands. The reverse is also possible; an executable Unix program looks like it hasn t been backed up recently on Windows. But again, this is rare, and is usually harmless. 5.3.2.9 map system The DOS system attribute is used to indicate files that are required by the operating system, and should not be deleted, renamed, or moved without special effort. Set this option only if you need to store Windows system files on the Unix file server. Executable Unix programs will appear to be non-removable special Windows files when viewed from Windows clients. This may prove mildly inconvenient if you want to move or remove one. For most sites, however, this is fairly harmless. 5.3.2.10 map hidden DOS uses the hidden attribute to indicate that a file should not ordinarily be visible in directory listings. Unix doesn t have such a facility; it s up to individual programs (notably the shell) to decide what to display and what not to display. Normally, you won t have any DOS files that need to be hidden, so the best thing to do is to leave this option turned off. Setting this option to yescauses the server to map the hidden flag onto the executable-by-others bit (0001). This feature can produce a rather startling effect. Any Unix program that is executable by world seems to vanish when you look for it from a Windows client. If this option is not set, however, and a Windows user attempts to mark a file hidden on a Samba share, it will not work Samba has no place to store the hidden attribute! 5.2 Filesystem Differences 5.4 Name Mangling and Case O Reilly Home | O Reilly Bookstores | How to Order | O Reilly Contacts International | About O Reilly | Affiliated Companies 1999, O Reilly & Associates, Inc. 164
