I know exactly what you want to do, but can you get by with something just slightly less?
The reason I ask is that one way to make things almost do what you want is to use the [homes] Section type configuration and hide the [homes] share itself by making it non-browseable. (assuming you eliminated all the other shares for the moment...) Each user then only sees ONE entry for themselves when they double click on the server. This entry is user dependant, so if you log in as Jim, all you see is a share called "Jim"... Of course you can actually use the macro functions to make it appear as machine name, user name, etc. or even the name of a passed variable... (Samba "logs in" as the authenticated user on the Linux box so you can pass user specific variables this way...) Once this is set up, you can always add shares that you do want everyone to see. You can replicate this technique for multiple shares, and even to point certain users to specific directory shares which only appear when they log in. Yeah I know you talked about it before, but by hiding the homes share itself it almost appears to the user that there are user/login specific shares available... Not really of course... BTW: the NMB portion of Samba could be easily patched to give you what you want if the browseable function was changed slightly. This may be something worth suggesting to the Samba group. Browsing is already controlled by a boolean per share, if instead it could be set to use passed variables then you have your cake and icing... A thought. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: Jose M.
