Topic: Ibays

[Bob]

When I create an Ibay, sometimes I can't see the the "cgi-bin, files, html" directories from the windows machine. If I go in as root they are there.
I have done this a thousand times but only recently I have come across this problem. I can't work out what I am doing wrong.

Also how do you change the users home drive to not use the standard path "home/e-smith/files/users/name" but instead use and Ibay with a directory created for them. "home/e-smith/files/ibays/data/user_name" without mapping the home drive that the login script rpm puts in automatically.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing wrong. The behaviour is different depending on whether you've enabled web access. If you haven't the root path is within the ibay/files directory because it assumes your only using the ibay as a samba share therefore do not want to see the 3 dirs, just 1.

set the property LogonHome for the smb service, to something like \%L\data\%U may work...

eg.
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smb LogonHome \%L\data\%U
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf

Actually no thats wrong you want to change the actual home directory.... Ignore what I said

I thought ou couldn't map a subdir of a samba share.

Last clueless post of the day I promise...

Duh of course you can, so what you'd so is make a custom template for /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/50homes and change the path line to

path = /home/e-smith/files/ibays/data/files/%S

But you probably have to create the directory for each user within the files dir before they can login with it.

Thanks Damien,
Makes sense now.
