First, I've been told I have a dry since of humor, but you need to make up your mind. See below: > [homes] > comment = Home Directory > path = /home/user/local/%u ---> > read only = No > browseable = no > available = no > public = no ---> > writable = no > only user = no So, to review... read only = no, so they can write to their home directories; but ... writable = no so they can not. Also, I believe [homes] is a special share and does not need a path so try, [homes] comment = Home Directory browseable = no read only = no create mode = 0750 Hope this helps, Chad -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
