Cool Re: Samba file transfer creates zone identifier files...

Just a thought: You can setup a cron job to purge files in the server directory, files that have a naming structure defined by you, like *.one.Identifier:$DATA, on a cycle like hourly, daily, on each boot etc.
I have exactly the same issue running on OpenSuSE 11.0, samba 3.2.0-22.1, so it is not isolated to the originator of this post. Suggesting creating a 'cron' job does not seem to be the right solution but only a 'work around'.

It appears that OpenSuSE 11 has many more quirks than one would wish for. Can anyone on the SuSE team seriously look into this? Eventually, this will be rolled up into Novell Enterprise product and when it does, please, believe me, I will come after Novell with a heavy hammer to have it fixed. We are running many SuSE Enterprise servers and having unwanted files created during each file transfer is something I am really not looking forward to.....
