I have a rather complex access setup for my users home-directories. This is because a) All users have to be able to read other users files (minus some private folders) b) Some users additionally have write access to specific (not: all!) home-directories
So a user Joe also has a group called 'Joe' with members Joe, Tim and Kate. Hence, Joe, Tim and Kate may write to /home/joe. I do this by editing smb.conf as follows: [homes] valid users = @users write list = @%g browseable = No create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 Now the question is: How do I provide the users with an easy way to access the various 'homes', ie. via a mapped network drive, and STILL preserve the 'write list' option of the smb.conf? Of course, the users could type "\\SERVERNAME" into their windows explorer, or browse through the network neighbourhood everytime, but this is rather inconvenient. Or I could create a share with symlinks to all the home folders, but this would deprive me of the individual 'write list' access control. Hope I could make myself clear! Any ideas are highly appreciated, I'm completely lost.
