Hi ! Let's assume we want to let users to see only certain shares. A simple way to do this would be to put a line like this in smb.conf: include = smb.conf.%u ;from "man smb.conf", include section: "It takes ;standards substitution, except %u, %S, %P" So, another ways can be: include = smb.conf.%U or include = %H/smb.conf The %U substitution works for me with Samba 1.9.18pl10. Now, with samba 2.0.3 seems that I can't do this anymore. Or am I wrong ? Can be another solution ? And what's the reason that the %u substitution doesn't have to work ? And, to quote Steve Arntzen:"This is the final snag in replacing our last [..]Novell server with a Samba machine." Alex
