But i can access share that i shared from /. but not from home directory. my smb.conf file looking like this

[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = samba server
security = share
[test]
path = /home/user/test
writable = yes
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes

The best solution is
useradd -d /home/username username
passwd username
smbpasswd -a username

Done
Let me know if any issue
