	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>This VFS module is part of the
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para>The <command>vfs_netatalk</command> 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. </para>

	<para>This module is stackable.</para>

	<title>CAVEATS</title>
	<para>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.

	<para>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.</para>
