To see what works with sambsa 3.x I used | [homes] | comment = Home Directories - %H - %S | browseable = no | writable = yes and I saw: 'Home Directories - / - mr700', then: | comment = S:%S,P:%P,u:%u,g:%g,U:%U,G:%G,H:%H,m:%m,M:%M,N:%N,p:%p,R:%R,d:%d,a:%a,I:%I,T:%T;L:%L and ended up with: | [homes] | comment = %U's Home Directory '%H/samba' - for %U:%G from %m:(%M) with %a | ; I do find this comment very usefull | browseable = no | writable = yes | valid users = %U | create mode = 0664 | directory mode = 0775 | path = %H/samba | [Profiles] | path = %H/samba-profile | browseable = no | guest ok = no works just fine for me :) you? -- Regards, Doncho N.
