User share is preventing access to static share. How do I fix? User (masters) with home directory (/home/masters) the same name as a permanent share (masters - /disk1/masters) is picking up the 'home' share /home/masters directory instead of the 'masters' share. All other users mapping to share masters pick up the correct folder /disk1/masters. Only user masters is getting the incorrect (to my way of thinking) folder. Previously I was running redhat 8.0 with samba 2.something, and this was working fine. User Masters was the only user allowed to update a masters directory. All other users had read only permission to the masters directory and all was good. This is per the documentation for samba 2.0 included in the swat application. I have recently rebuilt the linux server, which is now on fedora 1 samba version: 3.0.0-15. I copied the directories section of smb.conf from the old installation to the new installation. Directory structure for samba shared files are very similar. Windows Client is running win98se, logging onto the samba domain.
