           Summary: SMB shares ending in $ are administrative and should
                    be hidden when browsing
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Users familiar with MS Windows are surprised when they browse
their network with Konqueror because they see strange shares
with names ending in $.  These shares are described at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314984
The $ is taken by MS client software to mean 'hidden',
rather like the '.' on front of hidden files in Unix.

These shares should not be shown to users unless users select
'Show hidden files'.
