[Samba] Browsable Flag

[t***@posteo.de]

Hello,

the parameter "browsable (browseable)" is a Boolean which allows a share
to be displayed (or not) in list of machine resources.

But if I set the parameter to "no" - how exactly does it hide the share?
I could not find a clue about the way of achieving that.

Best wishes

Tom

the share is not listed - or what is your question at all?

boah get rid of "reply-all" on lists....

Thanks for your answer Harald. I know that the Share is "not listed" -
but how, a flag in the smb header?

not listed normally just means not listed and not "flag to the the
client not to show it" - just behave when the client asks for shares as
that one would not exist in the config

It's not hidden like an hidden file or system file (things you can display
tweaking some explorer options), it's not visible at all. I think there is
no way to list them, it's not hidden, it's unlisted, but you still can
access them if you know the full path.

exactly what i said - so why the need to hit reply-all and convert a
plain-text message to HTML?

I replied because of: « or what is your question at all? » meaning you're
not sure to understand his question, meaning you're not sure your own
answer will be the one expected by Tom.
Perhaps Tom was thinking about hidden share like hidden file instead of
unlisted share, because he used the "hide" verb and you used the "list"
verb. So, perhaps Tom did not have the key to understand your answer if he
was fooled by this confusion. My message was just a careful disambiguation
message to make your own answer easier to understand. You were the first to
not be sure if your answer was the one expected or if your answer was
understandable.

I hit reply-all to be sure the disambiguation is archived for future search
from other people preventing them to reask it.

Sorry for the HTML. I will not add more comment to this thread.
