Which parameter within a share definition in the Samba configuration makes Samba only show files...

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 toyes, 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.
