Only to find out that no matter what kind of masks and all that I set, the hidden property e.g. via ttrib driveletter:\foldername never shows up as hidden and dir driveletter:\ always shows that foldername as visible.
Via Windows gui explorer.exe setting the folders property as hidden, doesnt affect anything either, it doesnt stay hidden, stay being the wrong word, the checkbox doesnt stay ticked, when revisiting the folders properties. the checkbox never gets applied to the actual filesystem of the samba.
Have you tried the "hide unreadable" and making the directory unreadable to to the users? I haven't tried it, but I had a case of looking for a directory in a share and not being able to find it. When I looked on the server, it turns out that the directory I was looking for was a symlink to another file system that wasn't mounted. Thus it wasn't accessible and samba didn't show the broken link. Indeed -- if I unmount that file system, the thing I see as a directory in windows explorer (a link to some dir on a "/local" mount that I unmounted), goes away. It also comes back when I remounted the file system. Note, I allow my user's to manage "wide links" (symlinks) in directories they own via the "unix extensions" feature. As a result, cross-share widelinks work in my environment due to setting of the "allow insecure widelinks" (even though there is no such thing in my setup). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
