If you want to make a share invisible, you should add "browsable = no" to the share section in smb.conf. This share is invisible but accessible! If someone knwe the sharename, than it is possible to access this share via explorer and/or net use command. You can restict the access to users and group with "valid users = ..." Take a look at "man smb.conf" -- Frank Matthie� [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
