[OpenAFS] dotfiles on Windows

Hello-

I'm wondering if anyone has found a solution to hiding a user's unix=20
dotfiles when they view their home directory via the Windows AFS=20
client.  It's become more of an issue now that our Mac users are also=20
mounting their AFS space.  When they copy up a file, the file's resource=20
fork shows up as ._filename.  Since dotfiles usually list first, the user=20
tries to open their resource fork before they realize the actual file is=20
below.

Apparently, on AFS, the Windows hidden flag doesn't set.  Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Charles
