I'm trying to setup a samba file server..

I'm just using a simple conf file:

workgroup = Workgroup
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

[home]
path = /home/user
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid user = %S

[everyone]
.....
.....
#Public folder setting here in /tmp

I cannot access to the user's home folder.[I use \\192.168.173.104 to connect to the server,then I entered my username and password]

I can see both [home] and [everyone folder].
But I can't access to [home]. It said network access denined.

But the everyone folder is working normally.
why this happen? I've just type the same text from a tutorial.
Why is this happening?
And how can I fix it?

For home shares samba uses [homes] (with the "s" at the end). Samba maps users (with valid linux ID's) to their home directory via this share.

Here's what I use.

Code:

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	valid users = %S
	read only = No
	browseable = No

I find that the script is wrong that I added incorrect path for home.

I set the home directory all user can see all directories, but they can only access theirs.

Is there a way to set the user can only see his folder and a public area?
