volume exposed as a share + hide compromised

I'm exploring the network exposed for my  readynas 102. + 6.5.1

 

I have a single disk with 1 volume named NAS, It contains a number of shares one in particular is 'Work' and another 'Books'. I have configured 'Work', as Hidden,. The sibling share 'Books' is not hidden. From a windows machine I examine the network shares available and observe the following

 

\\NAS-1\Work   is not displayed   OK.

\\NAS-1\Books     is visible   OK

\\NAS-1\NAS      is visible  unexpected

I can also drill down:

\\NAS-1\NAS\Work       is Visible  unexpected,

\\NAS-1\NAS\Books      is Visible   OK

  • This is because you are using the NAS admin credentials to access \\NAS-1.

     

    If you were using a user's credentials then \\NAS-1\NAS would not be shown.
