Hi, I've been trying to find a way to hide Samba servers so that they do not appear in Network Neighborhood. It's a corporate requirement that our servers do not advertise themselves in this way. I can hide the shares, and files that I want hidden, but I cannot find anything on hiding the entire server. We can do this with our NT servers so that to map a share you have to know the full path to that share, it can't just be browsed too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Tom Cronin Senior Network Computing Analyst M&T Bank

It may work, but it's more a guess then knowlage.

If you are not using samba as a wins server, and ONLY sharing files and printers, you could simply NOT start nmbd, just smbd. That way no browsing announcements will be sent out for the server, and your clients will need to be able to resolve the servername to an ip address and visa versa with some method.

This worked. I commented out the nmbd sections of smb in the /etc/init.d and restarted and the server never came up on the workgroup. In fact since there was now no browser on the segment the entire workgroup was inaccessible, which is how it should be in our infrastructure. Thanks!
