hi all
I have a samba server acting as a domain member server providing
file/print services to our SME
As i want to provide users with a list of available printers for
installation, i need to give them a win32 shortcut to "\\samba-server\"
so they can see the available printers and install as required BUT...
doing so will also show them all of the available shares... not a major
issue but would rather just list the printers (i am using "browseable =
no" to hide all shares) but am now running into another problem.
I'm using a web interface to smbclient to allow staff to access the file
server from home.
Making all shares inviable effectively makes the use of the web
smbclient pointless
Is it possible to use a netbiios alias and force the printers to list
under the alias ?
Any other suggestion welcome
