[Samba] Listing behaviour in 4.18

[Ilias Chasapakis forumZFD]

Dear Rowland,

Thank you for your answer. We hoped that 4.18.10 that was recently 
released would include some change on this regard, but unfortunately not.

We are in a quite difficult position to explain this to users and asking 
to whom creates a folder structure for first to create a text file with 
the names of the folders for the colleagues to see, it is really quite a 
workaround we would like to avoid as it adds useless overhead to the 
process of applying for rights to a folder.

Is there any idea about something we can tweak in ACLs or in the samba 
conf that could bring back the original behaviour of listing for users 
that don´t have access?  I.e. list the folder and just produce the 
"access denied" message?
(as mentioned in the initial message access based share enum = no, hide 
unreadable = no are set but did not apply. Do we miss something there or 
are those deprecated anyway?)

Best
Ilias
