This can be done and is very usefull. All you have to do, is include the
'$' in the Share Definitions section of the smb.conf. I have included a
section of my smb.conf file and a dir listing below.

Here is the unix name of my share that is hidden in network browse lists.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
drwxr-xr-x  10 root     root         1024 Sep  9 23:59 installs

and here is the appropriate section in smb.conf
#===================== Share Definitions =======================
[installs$]
    comment = Install Directory
    available = yes
    path = /home/shares/installs
    public = no
    guest only = no
    writable = no
    browseable = no
    write list = @admins
    admin users = @admins
    only user = no
