SUMMARY - Re: Issues with SAMBA install

[Gerry George]

Thanks for all of the responses to my Samba install.  I received a number 
of suggestions, but by far, the best for my "private" share is not the 
hidden share, which would require extra effort on the part of the admin 
after login, but the following by giulioo at pobox.com - the use of a custom 
share via an "include" file.

I'll investigate the "wins hook"  option as per Luke Kenneth Casson 
Leighton <lkcl at samba.org> and others. - Yes, my Samba server is also a wins 
server.

swaters at amicus.com also suggested in answer to another question:
