[Samba] Accessing home directories problem (XP Home Edition)

[Brian Thibault]

 Hi there,

I have my Samba, set up and running. My users are add and should be set up
right. The problem is when I can't access my home directories from Windows XP
Home Edition <http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=179059#>.


It should give me a login box right? .. but its not. It just gives me the
error message that I don't have access to the folder.

When I manually add my home directory though in my smb.conf, then click on
that directory from my windows box, it presents me w/ a login box. After I
login here, then I can access my "magic" home directory.

Here is my smb.conf dump from testparm:

[global]
workgroup = XXXXX
server <http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=179059#> string
= File Server
map to guest = Bad User
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
log file <http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=179059#> =

max log size = 50

cups options = raw

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No

[printers]

path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[briansdir]
path = /home/brian
valid users = brian
read only = No
guest ok = No

[public]
path = /home/public
read only = No
guest only = Yes
case sensitive = No
msdfs proxy = no


Is the problem just w/ XP Home or what?


Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Brian
