I have checked, and my line is definitely security = user.  However, I
still can't see my /home, even though I can see all the other shares. What other conditions can cause this?

Anne,

        I bet you have changed the default permission for your home directories
from 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) to something else.

I forgot to answer that bit -

drwxr-xr-x 48 anne    users    4096 2008-01-17 18:56 anne/

Besides, if one laptop can read and write to it, the other one should also. And it can, if I use smb4k to launch it in konqueror.

Anne

Yes,

It has been a while, good to hear from you again. From your home permissions it appears you have bolted from mdk, unless they have picked up the openSuSE group scheme ;-) I don't know what to tell you on the homes issue. Most kernels have dropped smbfs support in favor of cifs. What I have been doing linux-to-linux is using mount.cifs for samba shares in the following fashion:

mount.cifs //host/theusername /mnt/mountpoint/ -o username=theusername,uid=1000,password=pass

I'm sure their is a more automated way to do this, but with only 10 people in the office it isn't a problem. I haven't used smb4k, but I have seen others that have successfully.

Without smb4k, I use konqueror and just type smb://host into the address bar and it shows all shares including the the users home dir that can be linked, etc... Someone smarter than I will have to add more to the discussion.

        Again, good to hear from you!
