Samba public shares? Hide Samba shares?
« on: February 27, 2002, 06:14:26 PM »
Can someone point me to what i need to do to create custom templates to do the following for samba with SME 5.1.2:

1) Public folders
create a public folder/ibay that anyone on the internal network can access, much in the way the everyone group was handled before 5.1.2

2) Hide ibay's from network neighborhood ( make them non browseable)
No reason for the primary directory to be visible if only admin can write to it...

I have installed SME5.1.2 for a non-profit computers for underpivalidged kids group, and their lab is all WinME boxes.  They keep mucking around with the user settings on the boxes, so I'd like to have them always be able to access the public share, and not be able to see the primary directory etc.

If someone more knowledgeable with samba smb.conf files could tell me what I need to say, I can write up a detailed howto.

Thanks.
