What I have is an office of two groups of users, Processors and Originators. The processors need to have a private share without the originators having access. The Originators need a sharing area for themselves because they think they need to be on the server and no other reason. They only get on to write letters, read email and surf the net looking for the latest porn. Won't they be surprised when I setup a firewall that has NetNanny? :^o Of course, I want access for me from where ever I happen to be. So, How do I turn off the [home] share?

All of my Samba users have a home directory but that is because their home drectory is on the Samba server :-) If you do not want home directories on the system make sure you turn off the [home] share. > Thank you, > > Buck > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:psyche-list-admin@redhat.com] > On Behalf Of Stephen Carville > Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 11:57 PM > To: psyche-list@redhat.com > Subject: Re: adduser -M > > On Thursday 23 January 2003 08:39 pm, Buck wrote: > > The command: adduser -M creates a new user without creating his home > > directory.
