are you looking for "hide unreadable = Yes" ?

              This parameter prevents  clients  from  seeing  the
              existance of files that cannot be read. Defaults to
              off.

Thanks for the quick response.. The phone is literally ringing from a crabby
teacher about this. HA!

I just tried that.

\\172.16.48.50\students\

So my home directory would look like


This is the directory with all the kids folders in it. It shows all the
other kids folders. I chmoded all the kids folders to 700 so a student can
only access their own dir.

I also played with chmoding the students dir. I thought if I set it to 755
they would only see their folder but no such luck. All the folders show up.

I think you misunderstand. I don't mean to share the parent directory
for the user home directories. Samba has a special share named homes
that maps to the home directory of the user. If my login name was
herb, I could map my home as either \\server\herb or \\server\homes
and get the same directory. This should work to allow you to map
\\server\homes instead of \\server\jamie.mcparland to get to your
home directory on samba.
