I would like to resolve this in the next day or so. I don't
mind adding that patch to HEAD assuming that
A user can still attempt a tcon to the share
and the [root] preexec script gets executed
in the current fashion, even though the service
cannot be seen in the list enumerated shares
I'll try to test this today. I think it is a little
too much of a semantic change for SAMBA_2_2. And of
course, we could wrap it in a new smb.conf parameter.
[ i think our smb.conf is starting to feel like the
windows system registry ]
If someone feels very strongly one way or the other,
let me know.
To summarize:
The change would make prevent a user's home
directory from being displayed in the list
of enumerated shares if the directory does
not currently exist.
cheers, jerry
