I want to be sure, why harras the team they got other stuff to play with.... havn't anyone noticed the annoying occurence where samba always shows FILES,HTML,CGIBIN directories even when security is on or off in an I-Bay and the the windows client logged on with the passwords in registery it still shows those directories in the share and that variable is responsible for that check (PUBLICACCESS), I simply want to know if anyone have seen it as a bug???
