RE: [newbie] error sharing home directories in samba

[Phil Connor]

 [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
browseable = No

But, without seeing your entire smb.conf file it's hard to say if it will
work for you.

Re: [newbie] error sharing home directories in samba

[Gerry Kirk]

[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

be sure you typed correctley.

my smb.conf looks like this

[homes]
 comment = home directories
 path = /home/%U
 read only = No
 browseable = No
