Seems, because I still get a strange behaviour with the special [homes] share, but this might be due to its special way of working. Please note that I'm talking about visibility of the share in the network neighbourhood tree, without having the network resource expressly added. if it's not so as descripted, then please send me smb.conf and versionnr. / version of used windows (incl. sp). The clients are Win2000 SP3. The relevant smb.conf sections are below (I customized a smb.conf from an IBM developerWorks tutorial). What happens is: user goofy logs in, browses the network neighbourhood tree, and CAN see a goofy share. I suppose this happens because the share is automatically added in his network resources, right? The strange thing is that, when goofy logs out and another user logs in, this different user can still see (but not access) goofy's share! Maybe the share is permanently added in the tree view, for ALL users, once a user added it to its resources? Thanks.

But, uhm... can it be used also with the [netlogon] share? Will it be still correctly identified by Samba as the netlogon service, where to look for netlogon.bat, if I name it [netlogon$]?

Re: [Samba] Re: Hiding a share
Keep in mind however, this only hides the share in Network Neighborhood/My Network Places/explorer. It is still possible to do a net view command from the command line and see everything.
