[Samba] Moving home directories to another location leads to NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing

I might not quite understand what you try to say. I am loggin in as user2. The home directory in /etc/passwd is changed to /mnt/volume1/homes/user2. That was automatically adjusted after the usermod command I mentioned earlier. To my understanding, once these items are changed and the user logs in he should have full access to the share.

One thing I want to ask. You mention to change the homedir in Samba. Where? How would that look like? Maybe that is my missing piece.
