share

Hi, I've set up Samba share on a Centos system and all works fine except whenever I copy a file to a share it makes two files, the actual file and what looks to be a log file, which has an appending ._ on the front of it.

So for example if I copy index.php it copies that one, plus it creates ._index.php with semi looking log info in it.

How do I stop Samba doing this? I'm sure its in smb.conf somewhere but can't find it.

Cheers
