[Samba] user are able to access "/" partition.

[Dhillon, Gurjit]

Thanks every one for the support.

My problem got solved. For those who are not aware of my issue, I will
just repeat in short. My issue was, all the users were able to browse
/root/ partition. I was looking to stop this, there was no sharing
declare for /root/ , still it was able to browse by users. 

Solution I implemented is below, [Home] section is unchanged, I have
just added [root] section. After adding this section, users cannot
access /root/ partitions. 

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        read only = No
        max connections = 5
        browseable = No

[root]
        comment = root dirctory
        path = %S

Thanks to every one again

Isn't there a variable for the user's home dir? Something like %H? Check

the man page for smb.conf (there's an online version if you don't have
it).
You can also include files based on groups ("include = 
/etc/samba/homes-%G.conf" is a real example of what I use at work to get

different forced permissions for each group).
