Please show us how you have configured the [homes] stanza. Are you using "valid users = %S" in the stanza? - John T. Hi John, Actually I don't use HOMES directories. And I am not using the "valid users" line anywhere in my smb.conf files. Each user has many private shares that only HE/SHE is supposed to be able to access. Those shares are defined in individual smb.username.conf files. In the GLOBAL section of my smb.conf file, I have the statement: "include = /etc/samba/smb.%u.conf" The listings in the individual "smb.username.conf" files look like one of the two following models: [Private Projects] comment = Metadata No Media Here path = /home/andy/Projects write list = @editors read only = No guest okay = No create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 2070 force group = editors [andy_TuesdayFiles] comment = Media Files path = /RAIDS/RAID_1/media/andy_TuesdayFiles write list = @editors read only = No guest okay = No create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 Note: The /RAIDS/RAID_1/media directory has the sticky bit set for the group , so the group is always "editors" inside the media folder. It's very important the the ownership and permissions of the files inside these shares be set broadly -- because they are often moved to other locations where other people need to access them. However, while they reside inside a particular user's share (and corresponding directory) they should only be accessible to that particular user.
