How do I hide an 'unshared' directory?

  • 772

I'm sharing a directory with another user. This directory is called /home/Shared.

When I was setting up the home network (that's another question), I found the 'Shared' directory with read access in the "Browse Network" part of Nautilus.

I'm not aware of having shared this directory on the network, it doesn't show up in /etc/fstab, nor in /mnt on the Server.

How can I remove this directory? As a side note, I'm not seeing my own home directory in the share.

    Look Shares and Automounter parts here:

    It seems the folder /home/Shared can be Samba or even Apple software related.

    testparm -s

    look in your /usr/local/etc/smb.conf some about (part of out from link above):

    [shared]
comment = Shared Folder
path = /home/shared
valid users = +samba, +dakids
read list = +dakids
write list = +samba
read only = No
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
browseable = No
