As I do not use Windows, I was never fond of samba.
Now I want to have access from my laptop to my home directory on my Desktop
computer(home network server) which both run Debian Sid other than just ssh.
I want to be able to mount that directory on my laptop when needed.
I have worked through a number of Debian-related howto's on how to set up a
Samba server. BTW most of them seems to me a bit outdated.
Anyhow, this is what I get:
$ smbclient -L //192.168.0.1/home/js/ -U js
Enter js's password:
Domain=[SPYKER] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.5.4-Debian]

>From what I have found searching on Duckduckgo.com the failure message
indicates a permission problem. Apparently the permissions should be
0755. I am not prepared to do that to my home directory on the Desktop
Computer.
Now my questions:
Why on earth is the OS indicated as Windows 6.1?
Is it possible to share my home directory on the Desktop (spyker) without
changing it's permissions?
Is there not a better way to mount spyker's home directory on my laptop?
My configuration in the 'homes' section of smb.conf
[homes]
comment = Home
Directories
browseable = no
read only =
no
create mask =
0700
directory mask =
0700
