You need a homes share, add a homes share in under swat otherwise home directories won't share. Samba never never never shares something by default except for the ipc$ share, if you want home directories shared create a share for them.

[homes] read only=no browsable=no create mask=0770 directory create mask=0700 valid users=%s ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juan Hernandez" <blindmagik@xxxxxxxxx> To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2009 6:13 PM Subject: RE: samba > Hi there, below is my smb.conf, I use swat.
