NAME

       vfs_netatalk - hide .AppleDouble files from CIFS clients

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = netatalk

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The vfs_netatalk VFS module dynamically hides .AppleDouble files, preventing spurious
       errors on some CIFS clients. .AppleDouble files may be created by historic implementations
       of AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) on servers.

       This module is stackable.

EXAMPLES

       Hide .AppleDouble files on the [data] share:

                   [data]
                vfs objects = netatalk

CAVEATS

       This module is largely historic and unlikely to be of use in modern networks since current
       Apple systems are able to mount CIFS shares natively.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
