Not to flog a dead horse,,,,
I am building a replacement for my old NT server at home (been running
undisturbed since '95) using the amahi.org distro, and turning on the
advanced settings for PDC support. I have done a few things with the
Amahi developers and have made mods to the DNS and DHCP setup script
to suit my needs. Now for tackling the Samba stuff before configuring
all new workstations as well (upgrading from W2K wrkstations to XP pro
woo!).
I am not so interested in C$ to access the whole drive, but to access
all the user shares. So I was thinking about something like:
[C$]
comment = CC
path = /home
writeable = yes
browseable = no
valid users = admin1, admin2
write list = admin1, admin2
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
Well, perhaps the masks are wrong because I see all of /home, but admin1
only can access /home/admin1
All the other directories gets access denied.
So what would be the proper masks?
[D$]
comment = DD
path = /var/hda/files
writeable = yes
browseable = no
valid users = admin1, admin2
write list = admin1, admin2
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
Of course, the Amahi front end won't let me name a share with a $ in
it (or at least ending in one), and I am having to edit the smb.conf
file to get this setup.
Understanding that only Windows clients 'hide' $ shares, and given my
goal of being able to view all shares from a couple shares, does this
seem the way to go?

it is an administrator share, it's doesn't know or care. In this case
there
is no difference between hidden and normal because to Windows they
are both
hidden. Give it a try sometime.
If you hit the server with a Mac client, it shows all the shares (at
least
it used to, I haven't tried in a long time), even the c$, d$, etc. I
think
the Linux SMB clients also do the same. So to rely on 'server' to 'hide'
these shares, is a very false sense of security. It's the actual
client that
does the hiding from normal users.

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

Interesting to see you say it's dangerous. The way the Windows version

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.
