Ahide unreadable = yes

Bvalid files = read,write

Cbrowse mask = 000

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

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

I think option A is the correct answer. Hiding unreadable files and directories seems like the right way to restrict visibility on the share.
