Well, unfortunately the Samba server could only refuse access to the file,
but not control the error message that Windows would display for it. In my
experience, Windows does sometimes display pretty misleading messages...

Lars.

Oh, and by the way, I seem to recall that I left access to non-bytestream
files in Samba because it can be handy at times (for example when browsing
and viewing files from the PC side with a program that is known to perform
sequential access i.e. not ask how-large-is-the-file but read-until-eof).
