Hi, In other word (if I understand), each users (%D%w%S) have access to her home directory and postgard group must be able to access to all homes folder ? If you want this, is preferable to create a other share witn the path of home directory and put access to postgrad on this share be

No Sorry, The only people who i want to give access to their own home directory is postgrad. but I only want them to access their own home dirctory not anyone elses(i.e the %D%w%S rule) Any clearer? On Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:55:14 +0100, Stéphane PURNELLE stephane.purne...@corman.be wrote: Hi,

ah ok, sorry, But I don't have the answer for you. Usually, the homes share is the user home directory and is not a standard share. the homes share in smb.conf contain theses parameter (normal config : [homes] path = /path/to/home/directory/%U force user = %U read only

If you are referring to http://marc.info/?l=sambam=122692173903872w=2 This doesnt work for me because postgrad isnt the primary group of those particular users. On Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:18:44 +, Miguel Medalha miguelmeda...@sapo.pt wrote: Im my [homes] share i want to have two access

Could you provide more information about your configuration. a homes share with two access, why ? A idea : about include parameter, if you edit your smb.conf and put end of the file the homes shares and the include parameter like : include = %D%w%S.smb.conf [homes] ... valid user= @postgrad

I really think i have explained the situation enough and its not that complex. I only want the users in the postgrad group to get access to their home directories via samba but i dont want them to be able to access anyone elses. include = %D%w%S.smb.conf wont work, that would obviosly mean id

No.. I want only postgrad group to have access but I dont want them to access anyone elses home directory as discussed previously(using the valid users = %D%w%S). In other words i need some kind of AND statement. i.e. valid users = @DOMAIN\postgrads AND %D%w%S On Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:04:29

David, What about approaching this from another angle? Using posix permissions, create a special place for the postgrad user directories. mkdir /home/postgrad chmod 750 /home/postgrad chown root:postgrad /home/postgrad [homes] path = /home/postgrad/%U valid users = @postgrad etc
