Not to flog a dead horse,,,,

I am building a replacement for my old NT server at home (been
running undisturbed since '95) using the amahi.org distro, and
turning on the advanced settings for PDC support.  I have done a
few things with the Amahi developers and have made mods to the DNS
and DHCP setup script to suit my needs.  Now for tackling the
Samba stuff before configuring all new workstations as well
(upgrading from W2K wrkstations to XP pro woo!).

I am not so interested in C$ to access the whole drive, but to
access all the user shares.  So I was thinking about something
like:

[C$]
    comment = CC
    path = /home
    writeable = yes
    browseable = no
    valid users = admin1, admin2
    write list = admin1, admin2
    create mask = 0775
    force create mode = 0664
    directory mask = 0775
    force directory mode = 0775

Well, perhaps the masks are wrong because I see all of /home, but
admin1 only can access /home/admin1

All the other directories gets access denied.

So what would be the proper masks?
The masks aren't what is denying you access, they specify
the permissions created files/directories get.

Remember Samba is looking at the UNIX permissions on the
disk. admin1 probably only has access to /home/admin1 and
no access to any other directory under /home. That's why
you see what you see.

oh well...

I'm not clear on what exactly you're trying to do here ?

I want admin to be able to access other user data to clean up any messes they have. Kind of standard here at home with my kids getting into challenges and asking for help. Or they did an assignment from the wrong login, and now I have to move it around. More my wife tends to just use my login and access her files. Well I will have to skin this cat another way. Most likely set up some symlinks and ID groups.
