samba - Mar 2017 - Error in https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders

Hi all,

 
can I freely create an account for the Wiki and do changes? Or should I notify
someone (Rowland)?

I found a small error in https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders .
The wiki mentions as rights on the share Read and Execute for Authenticated
Users, but on that level I see only Full Control, Change and Read. My assumption
is that it should be Change and Read for Authenticated users,

 
Met Vriendelijke Groet,
Kind Regards,
Salutations,

Or is this depending on the managing operating system? I use Windows 7 and also
do not have the Disable Inheritance button,

You can apply to create your own account, if you go to the main wiki
page:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Main_Page

In the top right hand corner, click on 'create account' and then fill
in the relevant info.

Just checked with 'Computer Management' on Win7 and you could be right,
in fact, the entire page seems wrong, I wonder what version of Windows
Marc used ?

You are right. I fixed this. Thanks.

Additionally, I added a sentence telling the user what to verify on 
Win7, because the "Disable inheritance" button only exists on Win8 and
later.

I really don't understand why you are saying that the _entire_ page is 
wrong?

Forgive me to interject a question relating to the page. It is not clear if
User_Home_Folders can be set for a Samba Standalone. Specifically how
to "Assign a user to a Home Folder" in a standalone sever.
There is a mention how to do that from AD DC, NT-4 style and from
within Samba AD DC via ldbedit. Nothing about standalone. Is it
possible at all?

thanks

Thanks for bringing this up. Yes, this was missing in the docs.

And here it is:
