help me with samba homes please..
 

People, I'm configuring a school network and I need a homedir for each user. Everything else is working fine but this.. users can see their shares when they're logged in, but when they try to open it, it asks for a password, but even giving their valid password it doesn't work anyway. I've tried a lot in smb.conf, here is it and help me please, i'm desperate!

[global]

workgroup = pdc
netbios name = pdcmoon

Did you look into this file?

you may need your users in there, since its global.

browseable = no

This will need to be yes, or else , ....... !! lol.!


valid users = @administrators, @professores, @alunos
What is this?

thank you for answering AutOPSY.
@administrators @professores @alunos are the groups i've created, and tha't seems to be working fine, (administrators,professors,students).

I did what you said but it's still not going on, I've added to smbusers,
ygor = ygor
arede = arede
gil = gil
since I added them both in linux and samba.

I need this working quick soon, please help me!

I introduced in [homes] :

path = /home/samba/homedir, and I can get to the shares in windows, but as you see, this way all users have the same directory as home. I've tried to do /home/samba/homedir/%u or %S , so that should create 'on the fly' a homedir for each user, but it does not, and in windows it says that 'the network path was not found'.
