similar to: Changing users home directory location

I might not quite understand what you try to say. I am loggin in as user2. The home directory in /etc/passwd is changed to /mnt/volume1/homes/user2. That was automatically adjusted after the usermod command I mentioned earlier. To my understanding, once these items are changed and the user logs in he should have full access to the share. One thing I want to ask. You mention to change the homedir

OK. That helped to understand how samba manages users. I looked at the details of my users. Both, user1 and user2, are defined exactly the same way. User1's home directory is set to \\debianhomeserver\user1 and user2's home directory is set to \\debianhomeserver\user2. Accessing user1's home directory which is still in /home/user1 works fine, user2's home directory, which was moved

Hi By accident I found out what I have to do!!! I am super happy. I did mention in my first post that I added the corresponding rights to the user. Unfortunately that was on the wrong level. I assigned the rights (in the unix file system with setfacl) to the folder on the level /mnt/volume1/homes/user2. That was the issue. The rights MUST be assigned on the main level /mnt/volume1 RECURSIVELY. I

I have a server and just finished building my raids. One of the partitions is supposed to house my home folders which I then want to share with my windows computers. Before I begin migration of all my data I created a user to test if I can move my home folders from /home/<user>over to the path /mnt/volume1/homes/<user>. The move worked without problems through usermod -m -d

Hi List, I've just updated from Samba 3.0.33 to 3.5.6 on my Centos 5.5 PDC and am having problems accessing home directories. To allow a backout option I set up a new server, put 3.0.33 on it, joined it to the domain and rsynced the home directories over with the flags necessary to maintain the permissions and user/group ownership. This worked and after completion I upgraded the new

Hi all I have samba 3 . i have configured as PDC, by default the home drive of the user gets mapped in the winodws clients when they login with the username of the server.

I apologize in advance if this is a double post. I had sent my last one from my phone and i never saw it show up on here, so thought something may have went haywire there.

LS, What could cause the following situation: Most users CAN connect to their /home other users CANNOT connect to their /home and get the error 66 message. All users concerned are in the same group and thus share the same gid. I am aware of security stuff putting directories on 0777. Setup is: Win98SE Fedora2 Samba 3.0.3-5 Funny thing is that a smclient -U username \\\\server\username

Hi list, My brand new samba network is working pretty good, ironing out some glitches. Win XP users cannot change their password. I use SaMBa as a domain-controller with an LDAP backend. A stripped down version of the config is below. I set minimum password length to 8, trying to change the password to a 7 char long gives me the messages that the password does not meet requirements. So that

Hello everybody, if I use Microsoft's Active Directory & Users tool to add a home drive mapping to a users profile, I encounter the problem that ADUC tool cannot create automatically the home directory for the desired user. ADUC tool fails with the message, that the share cannot be accessed. My smb.conf contains: [global] template homedir = /data1/homes/%ACCOUNTNAME [homes]

Hello, Situation: We are in a school class every student logs on with the same account. Until now we had Shares that were accessable for everybody and it was therefore possible to look into and edit/delete other's files. Plan: Create a share that can be clicked on which then asks for User/Pass and directly maps to the User's home Directory upon auth. User auth is done through LDAP
