Prevent '*Zone.Identifier*' files generate by WinXP SP3 and Samba3

My Samba is working fine before but some days ago, it keep on generating some '*Zone.Identifier*' files, e.g. DskPerf.zip:Zone.Identifier:$DATA, when copy file from WinXP SP3 to Samba. I can't delete them from both Windows and Linux, and I don't even understand why it come out suddently...

Finally, openSUSE forum give me a workable solution (http://forums.opensuse.org/network-internet/387779-samba-file-transfer-c...). Just add the following line to smb.conf:

vfs objects = streams_xattr

After restart Samba no more '*Zone.Identifier*' files will be generated :-)
