Disabling Network Sharing RetroPie

[turnerl]

Hi all,
Sorry for this stupid question i'm pulling my hair out. How can I disable network sharing in retropie? I just discovered my 9 year old sons mac list the retropie roms and other important folders *sigh. I'm hoping he hasn't accidentally deleted anything!

Thanks, Luke.

You can comment out all the shares in /etc/samba/smb.conf. For example,

Change:

[roms]
comment = roms
path = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms"
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = pi

To:

#[roms]
#comment = roms
#path = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms"
#writeable = yes
#guest ok = yes
#create mask = 0644
#directory mask = 0755
#force user = pi

thanks mediamogul , i had changed guest access from yes to no on each share. It now asks for password when trying to connect.

Cheers,
Luke.

I cant understand why they enable guest access w/r share by default???

@turnerl Because this is the easiest way to transfer your ROMs to the Pi system. Since this is a gaming dedicated system, it makes sense to make this operation as easy as possible.
