Browsing and Advanced Disk Shares This chapter continues our discussion of disk shares from the previous chapter. Here we will discuss various differences between the Windows and Unix filesystems - and how Samba works to bridge the gap. There are a surprising number of inconsistencies between a DOS filesystem and a Unix filesystem. In addition we will talk briefly about name mangling file locking and a relatively new feature for Samba opportunistic locking or oplocks. However before we move into that territory we should first discuss the somewhat arcane topic of browsing with Samba. Browsing Browsing is the ability to examine the servers and shares that are currently available on your network. On a Windows NT or 95 98 client a user can browse network servers through the Network Neighborhood folder. By double-clicking the icon representing the server the user should be able to see the printer and disk share resources available on that machine as well. If you have Windows NT 3. x you can use the Disk-Connect Network Drive menu in the File Manager to display the available shares on a server. From the Windows command line you can also use the net view option to see which servers are currently on the network. Here is an example of the net view command in action C net view Servers available in workgroup SIMPLE Server name Remark CHIMAERA Windows NT HYDRA Samba on hydra PHOENIX Windows 98 Preventing Browsing You can restrict a share from being in a browse list by using the browseable option. This boolean option prevents a share from being seen in the Network Neighborhood at all. For example to prevent the data share from the previous chapter from being visible we could write data path home samba data browseable no guest ok yes comment Data Drive volume Sample-Data-Drive writeable yes Although you typically don t want to do this to an ordinary disk share the browseable option is useful in the event that you need to create a share with contents .
