[KLUG Members] Re: Sharing out unix home directory via sam

[Robert V. Kanaley]

Komal,

You need to make some changes to your homes stanza. There are lots of Samba
Howto's out on the web. Make sure you use a Howto that matches your
installed version of Samba. The syntax and defaults have changed between
versions. Samba has many, many default settings. These are in effect unless
you explicitly declare them to be otherwise in a stanza in your smb.conf.
You can check the validity of your smb.conf configuration and list all the
default settings for Samba by executing "testparm |less" in a terminal
window. It is always a good idea to run testparm before you fire up Samba

Regards,

Bob
