this way I cannot list any files. Do you or anybody else have by any chance some sugestion on how to acomplish this?

Everything works fine up to there. The problem I'm having is that I need to hide the users ~/.* files and
directories and some directories such as ~/Maildir/. I've been trying to use the "HideFiles" directive
with no kind of success and I have no experience writing a regex so I would very much appreciate if someone
could help me.
