samba - Feb 2004 - How to get rid of the \\my_server\homes share?

Hello all,

Samba 3.0.1 on Sun Solaris 5.9.

I'm seeing both a share \\my_server\homes and a share
\\my_server\<username>.

For example:

\\my_server\homes
\\my_server\doejohn

Or:

\\my_server\homes
\\my_server\doejane

Both point to the home dir /export/home/doejane of user doejane.

I want to get rid of the \\my_server\homes share and - in this case - only
want \\my_server\doejane to show up.

There are some references about the same problem in the archives but I
couldn't find a fix.

I can't remember seeing this behaviour in earlier Samba installations? Is
this a bug?

Any ideas?

Regards,

Simon.

Try adding

        browseable              = no

to your [homes] section. Works for me (with 2.2.8a though).

Hi! :o)

You must have two shares defined in Your smb.conbf or any included files.

  > I'm seeing both a share \\my_server\homes and a share
This must be: [homes]
  > \\my_server\<username>.
This must be [%U]

If You don't need any of them, just delete that section or use the mailed 
solution: browseable = no (note that in this solution the shares remaining in 
the shares but You cannot see it in the shareslist - but You can use it!)

Hi TeeCee, all,

No, I only have the following section in smb.conf regarding the home dir
stuff:

[homes]
	read only = No

This results in:

\\my_dom\homes
\\my_dom\smithjohn

There is no [%U] in smb.conf.

If I delete the [homes] section both \\my_dom\homes and \\my_dom\smithjohn
are no longer available.

If I change it to:

[homes]
	read only = No
	browseable = No

This results in:

\\my_dom\smithjohn

Which is better but \\my_dom\homes is still accessible as you said - which
is not a problem I guess.

Thanks all!

Regards,

Simon.

In your [homes] meta-service definition in smb.conf add:

	browseable = No
