Samba 2.2.8 which is also PDC, logon from windows XP WS. If different users log on from the same WS one can tell the "history" of the logons because upon exploring the samba server one can see all the other users home shares; I mean the previously logged in users. That is if John logs in to XP WS and the samba server was just started he sees his home. If he logs off and then Jane logs in, Jane can see on the samba server her home and a share "John" that she can not access. If samba gets a restart the ghost "home" disappears immediately. Anybody with a hint on how to avoid this kind of behavior? [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes public = no create mode = 0700 directory mode = 0700

This is a strange one! As admin on that XP WS I used gpedit to make "Computer Configuration\bla bla\User Profiles\Only allow local user profiles - Enable"! Why does it still use Profiles? ...
