Robert, the discussion was around the hidden '$' shares, not normal ones.

The way the Windows version works is that you have to be part of the Administrator group to be able to see them, which I would have thought secure enough? This is not true, the share is advertised to anyone who asks. The Windows client only hides shares that end with a '$'. By default Windows gives access only to administrators (by default), but they are by no means hidden.
