This is all related to how both DOS and Unix end the lines in a text
file.

In DOS, they end with a carriage return and a line feed. In Unix, they
end with only a line feed. That is the extra control characters you
see at the end of the line when you are editing them in FreeBSD.

There are utilities to convert and get rid of the extra characters. I
have been able to do so with vi in the past, but consider when you
remove the extra characters in FreeBSD, that when you go back into
Windows and edit the same file....the lines all wrap to the same line
and you see junk characters there as well (line feeds without a
carriage return - which look like little black boxes).

You may want to check out:

www.samba.org

to see if there are any advanced configuration options dealing with
the translation. I believe there may be, but am not sure as it's been
a long time since I've dealt with samba.
