VFS_NETATALK(8)                                                                              VFS_NETATALK(8)



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 Pro-tocol) Protocol)
       tocol) 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 sys-tems systems
       tems are able to mount CIFS shares natively.
