How to make sub folders in a share invisible to certain users?

0

Back in the 10.3 days simply setting the posix permissions so that certain users and groups had no access to a sub folder in a shared folder would make the folder invisible to those users and groups. Flash forward to Snow Leopard, I’m trying to accomplish the same thing with ACLs, and I can’t seem to do it, the folders are still visible with access denied badges. I read the ACL white paper that was on AFP548, and that suggested creating a deny full control ACE for groups that shouldn’t have access, but that no longer seems to work the folders are still visible. I’ve been fiddling with different ACL configurations, but I can’t seem to get it to work. I am running Mac OS X Server 10.6.4, and the clients are 10.6.4 as well. Any help in figuring this out would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
