Prevent unauthenticated access to shares?

I have enabled password protected on all shares on my NAS. However I cannot lock-down the USB hard drive I have attached to the ReadyNAS and as such the HDD appears as a share which has no security and anyone can access it.

Can I either remove/hide the share "USB_FLASH_1" or apply a security permission to the NAS so that should anyone access \\MyNas they're asked to authenticate first?

  • Does the USB share show up on the "Shares" tab? If it does I believe you can set Access rights on it. I am not 100% familiar with the interface of this model, can you post a screenshot of the shares tabs?
