Show connection in ps

Are there any security issues with this?  It is possible to define hidden,
non-browseable shares in Samba, but won't this publish them for all to see?
Can you find this bit and check it before publishing them to ps?

Thanks
PG

Yeah, it ain't perfect, but it's still more interesting than "smbd -D".

Like I said, it's in the "just for fun" department, hence low (~zero?)
priority.
