Hello Bubba Bruthas (and hopefully a few sistas too),
I just got my bubba last week. I have had an absolute blast tweeking it to my needs. This fourm has been a wonderful source, thank you all.
My questions is simple--I am using my bubba as an application server. I do not want the users to even see the shared folders. Google tells me that samba is the correct direction for removing the shares... but excatly how is not clearly explained.
I still need the windows uses to be able to find bubba by simply going to http://servername, so it that part of the samba service still needs to work... I just want to turn off the shared folders that are shown under the Network Explorer.
Thanks in advance for throwing me a bone on this.
It would be great if this was managed in the future by the web-admin Under users.. be able to turn on/off folder sharing.
Thanks again!

Removing Shared Folders
Hi Baden,
Depending on your network setup, there are two things that you can do.
1. If you have a dns in your network that accepts that the client (in this case bubba) send its network name, you can just remove the startup of samba by, as root, entering:
/etc/init.d/samba stop
update-rc.d samba remove
This will cause samba to stop and not to start again at reboot. The http request will still work since the hostname is look-up by your dns and samba is not used for http-request.
2. If your dns does not let bubba add its network name, samba is used by windows to find the network name. You would then have to edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and remove all the shares by hand.
