Bjoern,
 
Could you please provide the actual settings of the share you are suggesting would be placed in the smb.conf file? Or are you suggesting creating a specific share for each user?
 
Thanks,
Eric Peterson

I guess homes is a special share where every user (only the user with
credentials have access to his very own home-directory) has access
with a home-directory.

So my advise is: comment out home and set a share with a path to /home
- don't worry access rights are handled by the system (should be, if
the home-directory is set up well).

Greetings,
Björn
