Hi, I am currently setting up samba on a network which on the UNIX side has NIS user's home dirs under a /homes automount - not quite sure why, but they are and this I can't change just now.
I therefore need to share the home accounts under a shared samba called homes, this of course plays havoc with the intended functionality of the homes share. I end up with a share called homes which allows the users to browse all home accounts, which is fine. \\machine\homes\all-users I also get a share which mirrors the above share, however instead of the homes path it uses to username of the user connecting to the share, \\machine\username\all-users I'd like to completely turn off the latter share, or have homes have homes behave in the way it should as well as allowing the homes\all-users share. \\machine\homes\all-users \\machine\connecting-user My smb.conf entry of homes look like [homes] path = /homes comment = Homes Directories browseable = yes writable = yes create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 case sensitive = yes preserve case = yes Any help much appreciated, although I fear the only answer will be to change the NIS accounts to /home. Thanks Martin. p.s. no idea why the original sys admin set-up the NIS accounts on /homes. :-( -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
