in my samba I am trying to share my home directories. I have done this in the
past and it worked correctly. On
this install I get.
\\LINUX\%U is not accessible the share name was not found!
be sure you typed correctley.
my smb.conf looks like this
[global]
workgroup = 1
encrypt passwords = Yes
hosts allow 192.168.0.
[public]
comment = public files
path = /mnt/public
read only = No
[homes]
comment = home directories
path = /home/%U
read only = No
browseable = No
Please let me know what I forgot!

1) I'm not sure about htis but from the top of my head I think you have to remove 'path = /home/%U'n from the homes section. Samba already knows that [homes] maps to the users home directory. 2) Also I think that a workgroup name of '1' is invalid. It's better to supply a real name like 'account' or 'managers'. 3) 'host allow 192.168.0.' is invalid, you must use this form: 'host allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.4.' for testing it's save to just leave it out, samba will then try to bind itself to all interfaces and if you sepcify it add the localhost (127.0.0.1) SO Far, Ries> [global] > workgroup = realname > encrypt passwords = Yes > hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0. > > [public] > comment = public files > path = /mnt/public > read only = No > > [homes] > comment = home directories > read only = No > > Please let me know what I forgot! > > > Regards > > > Mike Freeman > > > > > > Embrace the Penguin.
