Samba

Dear all,

I am wondering if you can help.

I am just setting up a SAMBA server on my Fedora box. The problem I am having is this. I have set security to USER and guest account to public. Map to guest is set to BAD USER. I was hoping that this meant the HOMES share would automatically enter the public direct ory (/home/public in this case) so as I didn't need to create a public share. I tried /home/%u to no avail.

Is what I am wanting possible? (IE When user X (Who doesn't have an account on my box) logs in the homes share enters them to /home/public) If it is not possible, is there a way to make the homes share invisible to invalid memebers (IE those mapped to guest account)?

My smb.conf file is below

Code:

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = DOMAIN
        server string = Katana Fedora Server
        update encrypted = Yes
        map to guest = Bad User
        guest account = public
        password level = 9
        username level = 9
        ldap ssl = no

[homes]
        #path = /home/%u #does this help?
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
#[public]
#       comment = Katana's public
#        path = /home/public
#        read only = No
#        guest ok = Yes

If this has already been asked, I apologise, but a search of the boards didn't seem to reveal my exact problem.

I thank you in advance.
