Topic: Samba on SME 5.6

[zaker]

Is there any way I can make the home directories on on SME 5.6 server readable/writeable by the owner and the admin? I am setting up an SME 5.6 box in a classroom for students to save their work on, and the students and instructor need to access the students home directory, not just the students.

Thanks
Tom

try to copy template /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/50homes
to the template-custom and add statement

admin users = admin

then expand-template /etc/smb.conf and restart smb

as admin you should be able to point to \\server\username and open users home directory.

It is not browseble, but accessible.
If you want to make it browsebla as well, change
browseable = no
to
browseable = yes in the same template fragment.

Read more in the manual on how-to modify and customize templates.

Thanks, that worked!!

Except, I made browseable=yes, but I don't see the folders in windows explorer. I can get to them by typing them in though.

thanks again
Tom
