maybe write list = @writegroup read list = @readgroup where members of the write group are not members of the read group (or they will apparently not be able to write). > Of course, the users could type "\\SERVERNAME" into their windows explorer, > or browse through the network neighbourhood everytime, but this is rather > inconvenient. Did you try just mounting homes as part of your logon script? net use \\fileserver\homes /yes If that doesn't work, then enclose the home directories you wish to browse into a share directory typical path in /etc/passwd /home/<username> change it to /home/users/<username> now as part of the logon script, you can mount /home/users ## smb.conf [users] path = /home/users # etc. etc ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ## logon.bat ## place in netlogon share net use U: \\fileserver\users /yes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
