Hi,

Samba shares a folder I did not specify in smb.conf, namely the /tmp
folder.  Samba shows it under Network Neighborhood as public.

I think the problem is that the chmod of /tmp is 777; that is any user
on the Linux box can read and write to the /tmp folder.  So, the same
rules apply to shares under Network Neighborhood.  Other than
"chmod"ing the /tmp folder to 700, can I configure Samba to share only
the folders I specify in smb.conf, not folders that have chmods of
777?

Thats the way it works, samba doesnt share ANYTHING you dont tell it, check
out your smb.conf the share must be in there (its there by default)

just like the other poster said, this is impossible. Samba shares only the
directories you specify in smb.conf. Check your configuration.

Hmm...It would seem, from running "testparm" that Samba wants a public
directory.  When it cannot find one, even if the "public" section in
smb.conf is absent, Samba makes /tmp the public directory.
