I worked with the smb.conf for several hours and got it so I can access
the server and workgroup. I can access the public folder because I set file
permissions to 777. I cannot access user folders. I set file permission to
700. If I set to 775 or whatever, there is no password protection. How can
I make it so that a person must login with user name and password to access
his or her folder in the /home directory?
My global settings look like this:
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
load printers = no
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
obey pam restrictions = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
encrypt passwords = yes
public = yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
dns proxy = no
netbios name = XX name here deleted for now
server string = XX name here deleted for now
invalid users = root
path = /home
workgroup = Students
os level = 20
comment = Home Directories
security = share
syslog = 0
create mode = 700
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
max log size = 1000
directory mode = 700
My Home directory looks like this:
[Home Folders]
comment = Home Folders
path = /home
public = yes
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
force user = nobody
force user = nogroup
writeable = yes
And my Public folder looks like this:
[Public Folder]
comment = Public Access Folder
path = /home/Public
Ideally, I would like a user to login and have access to his/her own folder
and also the public folder. If the user sees other folders, that is
alright, as long as he/she cannot access these folders.
I have been working mostly from the terminal window to edit the smb.conf but
have also used webmin some. I used webmin to make all system users to be
samba users.
Thanks for any help!!

dear
First u make it sure that you are accessing it with correct alias
share name.And you try this with cmd line from any linux machine
#smbclient -L //server-ip -N
Above cmd will display the share name (alias name).
now
#smbclient //server-ip/sharename -U username
If you are not able to access then verify the path of your samba share in
configuration .

I am new at Samba. I just about have it working. From my windows XP

on
server to access network folders, the login pops up. I put in the username
and password (both of which are already in Samba). The login window
refreshes and I get in the login screen: XXX/username, with XXX being the
name of my local Windows XP computer. I put in password and the window
just
refreshes the same and I can't get past it. My /home directory is 777 and
the user's directory is 700. I am using Webmin as much as possible. Any
help will be great. The answer is probably simple. Thanks.
