[Samba] Share names causing big troubles

[Jamie McParland]

Thanks for the quick response.. The phone is literally ringing from a crabby
teacher about this. HA!

I just tried that. 

\\172.16.48.50\students\

So my home directory would look like


This is the directory with all the kids folders in it. It shows all the
other kids folders. I chmoded all the kids folders to 700 so a student can
only access their own dir.

I also played with chmoding the students dir. I thought if I set it to 755
they would only see their folder but no such luck. All the folders show up.
