.SH "NAME"
vfs_netatalk \- hide \&.AppleDouble files from CIFS clients
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
vfs objects = netatalk
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This VFS module is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
suite\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
This module is stackable\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Hide \&.AppleDouble files on the [data] share:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
        \fI[data]\fR
	\fBvfs objects = netatalk\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "CAVEATS"
.PP
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\&.
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is correct for version 3\&.0\&.25 of the Samba suite\&.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
