Ah, if only. What I find is that this prevents the PC's from deleting any
of these files, which is great until they want to delete the whole
directory. At that point samba tells them that the directory is not empty,
which is slightly confusing for the PC users, since the directory _looks_
empty. Using:
hide files = /.Apple*/Trash Can*/Temporary Items/Icon*/
is better, but I still get trouble from the Icon\r file.
