samba - Jul 2016 - Samba 4.4 hidden share with $

Hi,

I have a question, hidden shares with $ in samba 4 seems that are not
showed when you try to connect to samba server and view from windows
shares, is this a bug or I have a problem with my configuration?

Thanks

hi
I've noticed this as well. I'm going to guess that those are hidden
shares that windows doesn't show because they're not supposed to be
used, but samba shows them because windows is sharing them, but windows
clients filter them out. I'm no expert though, I've only been subscribed
to this list for a day.
Thanks

The default printer share will be $. But an actual printer shows up 
without the $.

I am guessing the $ is a remote procedure call function, not an actual 
share. Ie. it serves the purpose of returning information, but not of 
returning an actual share. Windows will probably never show them, but 
will use them behind the scenes.

Just my 2 cents. Nothing to worry about.

Hi,

By default window server always has c$, and my problem is that with our
migration of samba 3 to samba 4, resouerces with $ are not showed from
windows to manager cifs permissions...
Any alternatives keeping $ and managing cifs permissions ?

Thanks
