.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
This VFS module is part of the\fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.

.PP
The \fBvfs_netatalk\fR 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:

.nf

        \fI[data]\fR
	vfs objects = netatalk

.fi

.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\&.
