        <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.
