The home directory in win98 should be taken care of by the 'home\\server\dir\dir ' parameter in the [global] section, and another section called [homes] where you put the comment, browsable, readonly, etc.. Browsing the server using win98 should show you a dir called 'homes' that gives you access to the home dir of the username you are logged in with. I use this for a mixed win98/win2k/winxp network without any problems.

HI All I'm in the process of setting up my first Linux box at work, a basic file server for all 20+ Win clients (I'm sick of paying M$ CAL) all have a 'home' directory and all share a 'shared' directory. What my problem is, everything is working OK with WinXP/2000 I can see the shared directory and our own home directory on the Samba box. With Win98 I can only see and access the shared directory. I can see and access the home directory only if I set up a 'share' for them and give the directory read/write access for everyone, not what I really desire. I have gone though all the doc's that I can find and I can't find any answers. As it's working for the WinXP/2000 I figured it probably a Win98 problem? but they are all set up according the HOW TO from Samba, as far as I can tell. Using RH8 & Samba 2.2.7a, have WinNT4 server as PDC and the network is purely TCP/IP. All and any help will be greatly appreciated.
