I had to reainstall my server and couldnt avoid upgrading samba. Before reinstalling, I had samba configured to let users browse their home folders from Windows PCs using their Unix system user/pass. Now, it is not possible, I have just managed to implement the same authentication system as before and give access to a public folder. The home folders remains invisible, if I set browseable = yes, then I see a "home" folder, but it can not be browsed. This is the relevant configuration (I think, if there is something missing I can send the whole file) workgroup = SCNET netbios name = eht security = user encrypt passwords = no passdb backend = tdbsam [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no valid users = %S, %D%w%S inherit acls = yes Is there any way to solve this? -- Roger D.

this is what I use for my homes share:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
writeable = Yes
browseable = No
hide dot files = yes
public = no
valid users = %S
create mask = 0750
force create mode = 0750
directory mask = 0750
force directory mode = 0750
csc policy = disable
nt acl support = no
veto files = /*.mp3/
delete veto files = yes
force group = users
however i think your users aren't authenticating for some reason. are
you using ldap, tdbsam, or smbpasswd authentication?
