I'd suggest you set the UNIX HOME variable to match these non standard home paths. For instance, the default UNIX home dir is set as, in my case: [08:57:34][s...@greer]~$ set .. HOME=/home/stan .. In your case, set the HOME variable for each UNIX user account according to the correct but non standard path you are using: HOME=/samba/michael HOME=/samba/amy Read your distro documentation on how to set the user HOME variable. After you've done so, you should be able to use something like this in smb.conf: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 valid users = %S with success. There are probably other ways to skin this cat, but this is the setup I've been using and it works perfectly, albeit on Debian Lenny with Samba 3.2.5 (workgroup--not a domain controller). Once you've done this you can browse Windows Network Neighborhood and map the user home share to a drive letter. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
