Re: Re: Hidden flag set on SMB server

Thank you for testing.

I think this is a bug in Samba. I found this old ticket.
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/issues/573__;!!IBzWLUs!Ri1TGDegVcsod-3Xz0Y628TG2I8SD-amTuqduHadxPXYIYz302p3Lrjt-EgmY0JFQSQbqv3arf3Z8qClvkPRzQ$ 
There is a workaround for Samba described in that ticket.

Unison can't do much else here, being cross-platform. When building from
sources, one can easily replace the leading dot in the temp prefix by
something else, like an underscore. The temp prefix is currently fixed in
the source. I don't think it is worth making it configurable but I'd hope
the wider audience can weigh in here in case there is interest.
