Removing the info share
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki

Why this article?
On the original and modified stockfirmwares we always have a some default shares. The normal "share" is not the problem, but "info" is as you cannot get rid of it. This article describes how to deal with that problem.
LS1/LS2/HG/HS with Openlink
Description of the mechanism
mkcode!!
Solutions
Automatic removal of the info share
Disabling updating of smb.conf
there already is another article about this!
LSPro/LSLive with stock or modified stock firmware
Description of the mechanism
nas_configgen!! (/usr/local/sbin/nas_configgen)
This is called by /etc/init.d/smb.sh in the configure() section.
/usr/local/sbin/nas_configgen -c samba
This file with the correct arguments, will parse /etc/melco/shareinfo & /etc/melco/info to obtain the info required to create the smb.conf.
When you create/edit the shares/basic with the WebUi, shareinfo, info & the smb.conf are rewritten & the samba service is restarted by smb.sh
Within nas_configgen, Buffalo have included a default [Global] section which requires a minimal amount of information taken from /etc/melco/info. Such as 'dos charset', 'netbios name', 'server string', 'wins server' & 'workgroup'.
The default [info] share is also added at this point.
The shares sections added by the user in the WebUi, are then added at the bottom of the smb.conf. These are taken from /etc/melco/shareinfo, in the following format.
Raw
share<>disk1<>LinkStation folder<>all<>all<>all<>all<>1<>1<>0<>0<><>0<>0<>0<>0;
Translated
Share Name<>Disk<>Comment<>RW Users<>RW Groups<>RO Users<>RO Groups<>Windows<>Mac<>FTP<>Backup<>Backup Pass<>RO<>Trash<>Quota Status<>Quota Size;

With sed
cp -a /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.orig sed '/^\[info\]/,/guest ok = yes/d ; /^###info###/d' /etc/samba/smb.orig > /etc/samba/smb.conf
Paste that after line 20 in the /etc/init.d/smb.sh - info share is removed on restart, and every restart thereafter.
With a perl script
