Per Nicolo's remarks, they are spot on. Encrypting home directories is
also a common choice that is incompatible with sharing the home
directory. Public directory, as always, remains sharable.
Quick brainstorm on fixing this - Perhaps a script that works under sudo that:
(a) If home directory is encrypted, advise user to share stuff out of ~/Public;
(b) Run a script under sudo, perhaps controlled by a group (samba-sharers?)
that runs a mount --bind ${HOMEDIR}/Public/share
/var/lib/samba/usershares/${SHARENAME}
(c) net usershare /var/lib/samba/usershares/${SHARENAME}
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Michael
