[Samba] hide directories?

[Mauricio Silveira]

Just add the parameter "hide unreadable = yes" to the share declaration.
If you want to hide Rean-Only files too, just add "hide unwriteable 
files = yes"
I think a service restart might be needed, 1st try to logoff/logon in a 
client machine,  the try the command `smbcontrol smbd reload-config` 
then logoff/logon again; If both fail, simply restart the service and 
all goes well.
