Okay, I am very happy to have my Samba working as the PDC for my small WXP
network. Logins go great. Roaming profiles work great. Life is great,
except for shares. When I first started with this, I assumed that when the
user was created and I told it to create a home directory, that it would and
this would be viewable by the user I created. It didn't work this way. I
couldn't see those particular directories when the user logged in. So, I
created a share for each user. My shares look like this in the samba.conf
file:
[bear]
comment = Bear's home directory
path = /home/bear
username = bear,root
guest account = bear
valid users = bear,root
force user = bear
read only = No
guest ok = No
Okay, this seemed to work fine, until today when I logged in as a user and
saw a share called netlogon. I went into it and as any user, I can go into
netlogon and then go into any of the shares I have set up. I won't have
access to the roaming profile of each user, but I do have access to each of
the accounts. It is a read-only thing, because I can't change anything, but
I can see everybody's stuff. Why?
