samba - Sep 2003 - changing share name?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Try doing smbclient -l //servername -U username%password

then you should see a share named [username]

Other than that, I don't know.

Windows network neighborhood will not see all the shares, as some are
hidden. They will only see theirs, as [homes] is hidden.

Hello!

Is it possible to change the share name of the [homes] section. Now 
smb.conf has the [homes] section configured, and when I list my shares 
with smbclient, it prints:

         Sharename      Type      Comment
         ---------      ----      -------
         homes          Disk      Public folder

Is is possible to change that "homes" to the name of the actual user,
or
anything that I type in smb.conf?

Thanks!

Daniel

The [homes] entry is not a share, it is a meta-service. Meta-services
should be set to "browseable = no"

If your users are correctly configured and user 'joedoh' does the
following:

	smbclient -L 'mysambaserver' -Ujoedoh%secretpw

Then joedoh's home directory should be listed in the "Sharename"
table.
