Problem description:
I can't get rid of (or password-protect and make writable) the Samba shares "usb-stick" and "xbmc-backup-share".
I am not pleased with the read-onlyness and anonymous accessability of it all, so i would like to disable both or at least the usb-drive.

All the other shares were disabled by editing /etc/samba/smb.conf and commenting (adding a # to the beginning) the lines

Code:

include = /etc/samba/user.conf

include = /etc/samba/shares.conf

followed by

Code:

sudo service samba restart

I mount the stick myself using /etc/fstab with this line:

Code:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-stick/ auto sync,user,auto,rw 0 0

I already disabled automounting in the GUI and checked /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf. There ENABLED=0 (read: enabled equals zero), and is therefore disabled.

Any ideas where those shares could be defined?

@BerryBro,

xbmc-backup-share is small volume dedicated to "drag&drop" backup/restore of XBMC Libraries and Settings. it is defined as service and can by easily turned off in xbian-config -> services -> restore-home

the second share is left over from dynamically added usb storage. normally dyn shares are re-tested / purged on samba restart. in this process /etc/fstab records are skipped - they are considered as needed and wanted. in terminal use "net" tools to list and remove this share.

Code:

net conf listshares

.

.

net conf delshare  "usb-stick"

Thank you, @mk01!

That did the trick! I left the backup-share, but secured it with

Code:

sudo net conf setparm xbmc-backup "guest ok" no

sudo service samba restart

I don't know whether this backup-security makes sense, but for the moment i am happy!

Also, you do terrific work on Xbian!

Thanks,

BerryBro

you are welcome!

with the guest access nobody will steal your library data / passwords as the backup file is created only on request through xbian-config.

but DoS attack through copying GB's of data to it back is quite real. I planned regular authenticated access only for all shares by default but users asked for continuity with old releases.

"net" command is changing live registry settings for running samba, restarting service is not necessary.
