Hmmm - never seen. But that's no proof of inexistence.

        strings /usr/sbin/smbd | grep chdir

tells

make_connection_with_chdir
chdir (%s) failed
make_connection_with_chdir
Failed to chdir to / on chroot to %s

And there is the above error message - ok.

>> "/home/adm" exists, it's a Samba share.

> What user is smbd running as?  (ps aux | grep smbd)

Owner: "root"

> Who owns /home/adm and what are the permissions?

        /home:          root:root       755
        /home/adm:      adm:lehrer      755

Viele Gruesse!
