[Samba] How to share [homes] in a more flexible way?

[Andreas Baitis]

You could separate your [homes] entry into a file called Novagroup.homes 
then do:

include = %g.homes


Then only the Novagroup members will get a home directory served up.

Works for me.

Members of NovaGroup are the only ones who can access their homes. For example, user Frank who belongs to NovaGroup, can access (read and write) the folder \\server\frank . The problem is that hypothetical user Jon, who doesn't belong to NovaGroup but is a domain user, also see a folder \\server\jon , although he cannot access that folder. I don't want Jon to see that folder, because nasty users like Jon are always complaining about a phantom folder appearing on an unknown machine in a department where they don't work. Did you get the idea? Solutions you have gave me doesn't solve my problem. Thanks anyway, but I'm still searching....
