[Samba] Missing shares in 4.16

[Matthias Kühne | Ellerhold AG]

Hello Rowland, Hello Samba-people,

we've caved and switched to the "homes" share with path=/storage/homes/%U .

The drawbacks of this solution are

  * Every user sees this share. Even users that shouldnt see it because
    they dont have a home directory on this specific server.
  * The name of the share is not changeable for us. We'd like to have
    add a specific suffix to it, but I havent found any documentation to
    do it.

The drawbacks are good for now, but we prefer the old version tbh...

Spaces in share names aren't a problem - we have a lot of shares with a 
lot of spaces in them.

We tried renaming the share to use _ instead of a space - same bug 
(share is hidden but accessible).

Is this a bug for the bug tracker or is this accepted (samba) behavior?

Thanks - Matthias.
