[Samba] Default Hidden Disk Shares

[Atkinson, Robert]

Interesting to see you say it's dangerous. The way the Windows version works
is that you have to be part of the Administrator group to be able to see
them, which I would have thought secure enough?

Who would I contact to request this as a feature enhancement?

Thanks, Rob.

No, sorry. That would be rather dangerous IMHO. You can
easily define these yourself if you need them and export
the root of the filesystem.
