[Samba] Hide the files that doesn't have permission to access

[James]

It sounds like you want to hide shares and not files? With windows you 
can hide a share from being browsed by doing the following.

[smb_shr1$]
         path = /mnt/LV002/share1
         read only = no
         create mode = 0777
         directory mode = 0777
         valid users = hai

Appending the $ removes the share from being browsed. They can access 
this share if they know the name however. You may still want 'browseable 
= no' for other OS's that don't support the $. This all assumes you're 
attempting to hide shares and not files.
