How to hide shares for users that have no rights

[Glenn MacGregor]

Hello,

I do this by not making any shares in my smb.conf file but adding a line like the
following in there
include = /path/to/name dependant/shares/smb.conf.%m
the %m is the netbios name of the machine trying to connect.
I have a file for each of my machines, I don't have 300 only about 25 so this is
managable.
In each of those files I have lines that include shares
include = /path/to/share/conf files/smb.conf.sales
now in each of those files I have the share info.

This works for me because each user is generally at one machine, no moving
around.  This is not user dependant but machine dependant.  I also put in each
share declaration valid users so if someone does go to another machine and sees a
share they don't have access to they still can't get in.

There is probably a better way but this seems to work.
