[homes]
comment = home directories
path = /home/%U
read only = No
browseable = No
Please let me know what I forgot!
Try this instead of what you have
[homes]
comment= Home Directories
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[homes] is a special share. You don't need to specify a path to the files.
My samba share looks like this:
[homes]
comment = personal files
browseable = no
read only = no
create mode = 0754 # so files created in the user's public web
directory are readable by others
