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).
well I have only tried to do the very simple things here which is exactly what I want and what the samba documentation talks about, making that hidden attributed respected and translated into the samba world. and it just doesnt work i dont want to add fancy tricks or create a huge problem about such a simple thing as to set a hidden attribute to a directory object i didnt think that in 2016 i would still come across such problems :( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
