[Samba] how to disable home directory to some users?

[Jordi Castells]

hi all,

I am configuring a samba server version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix, under redhat 8.0

I would like to configure which user have access to the home directory and which not

the smb.conf home configuration is:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
valid users = +homeusr
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775

where homeusr group is the group of users that have home directory access, I also delete the home directory for the users that I do not give access

the problem is every user that connect to the samba linux box see a share with the user name (of course is not posible to access because the directory do not exists)

I would that only users with home directory access view the share to avoid confusions

any ideas about where is the problem?

thanks

If you set a global 'broweable = no' and enable it explicitly for your
other shares, then you can stop it showing up. Also, you can use:
'valid users = %S' to ensure you keep people out of those shares.

I try this sugestion and is not exactly what I want:

with a global 'broweable = no' no one see the home directories, including users that belong to group homeusr

I also try to set group id of home directory to homeusr group, without any luck

any ideas?

thanks
