any reason, why she should see the smb.conf. She needs the SMB
connection, but by reading smb.conf she gets a lot of information about
the setup of the computer.
Default setup:
$ cat /etc/nsmb.conf
cat: /etc/nsmb.conf: Permission denied
If you don't like the way your distribution is setup,
simply change it to the way you do want it.
In certain circumtances even the names and addressess of the users are
kept secret.
Having defaults as they are in Unix and M$Windows nowadays doesn't mean,
that they are in the optimum.
The above command is issued on a FreeBSD machine.
(I have no nsmb.conf on either of the Linux machines)
