Goal: To have shared folders only be visible to valid users.
To date i have been able to make them visible to all, or none. The folder address works for the user even if it is hidden.
I have tried numerous variations in the smb.conf , ie browsable = no, hide directory, etc, file but I can’t get folders to be visible for only the valid users.
Is security = share a better option to achieve this?
I found an awesome tutorial on youtube a few weeks ago, didn’t bookmark it, and my system crashed so i had to reinstall; the guy demo’d: the recyclebin, users, hidden shares, and a bunch of smb.conf tricks like include.
I have spent hours trying to find it again but i can’t. Its a monster piss off. I even thought to post it in the Linux tutorial thread.
I can when I get home, if you need it, but I don’t have any security defined in smb.conf. All I did was add, what I’ve posted above, to smb.conf in the Share Definitions section.
I can when I get home - there is no urgency, but that would be great. PM preferred. I don’t have any security defined - Hmm i wonder what the default is. Will read up on it.
Hmmm, commented (#) out the security option and nothing changed. I reboot everytime so i assume the updated smb.conf file is applying.
