Subject: Samba can be safer for Win32 clients

I just ran across an interesting idea that allows you to deny access to
specific files with specific extensions.
Using samba you can issue a:
veto files = <filename>
This would allow you to explicitly deny access to certain types of files.
For example the Nimda worm utilizes files with the extension .eml and .nws.
By using the veto files parameter you can exclude any access to this type of
file:
veto files = /*.nws/ *.eml/
Obviously this would not allow you to have other files with these
extensions.
