Which parameter within a share definition in the Samba configuration makes Samba only show files and directories on a file share which a user can access?
hide unreadable: This smb.conf option ensures that only files and directories that the user has permissions to access are visible in the file share.
Functionality: When set to yes, files and directories that the user cannot read (due to permissions) will be hidden from their view.
Security and Usability: This helps in enhancing both security and usability by preventing users from seeing files they cannot access, reducing clutter and potential confusion.
Example Configuration:
[example_share] hide unreadable = yes
