Hide dotfiles in Nexenta

As the title says, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to hide the dotfiles in Nexenta. Netatalk just created a whole bunch of .AppleDouble directories that I don't want to see when browsing the shares using CIFS.

Any ideas?
 
You could try right clicking on the folder and check the 'hidden' field? Afaik the CIFS in OpenSolaris supports windows ACLs, so that should work..

But if you have 'Show hidden files' enabled in your windows explorer options then I think you are not going to be able to hide them?
 
Yes, that would work, but it keeps creating these folders and files everywhere a mac client browses, so I would need a way to hide them as they are created.

It seems that with good old Samba you could set "hide dot files = yes" in smb.conf, but it doesn't have any effect in Nexenta (probably since it uses the kernel CIFS).
 
There are unfortunately too many users for that to be feasible.

The folders are called ".AppleDouble", ."AppleDB", etc. btw. I'm thinking one (not so pretty) solution may be to let the Mac users piss all over the file system and then manually search for and hide all those folders. Either that or don't allow them access in the first place.
