# HOMES section (optional but sometimes useful)

# This section provides access to user’s home directories without

# having to add a separate section for each of them. The share name

# is considered to be a valid user id and the path defaults to that

# user’s home directory. The share is created “on the fly” by using

# attributes from this section.

# Notice that home directories on MPE/iX are currently MPE groups

# and grant CD and TD permissions to every user (not just the user

# who belongs to this home group). This is equivalent to LISTFILE

# ability across the whole system (at least on group levels). Read

# or write access are nevertheless controlled by file system plus

# smb.conf security definitions.

# Notice further that either the connecting user or the user derived

# from the share name may be validated by the appropriate passwords.

# Thus it is possible e.g. for user lars.appel to connect to the home

# directory of manager.sys - with access rights bound by file system.

# Confusing, isn’t it? -- You might want to comment out [homes] thus.

[homes]

# only want home share shown, not the [homes] section itself

browseable = no

# allowing guest logon is usually not desired for home directories

guest ok = no

# write access is usually desired for home directories but keep in

# mind that there is also the file system permissions that decide

# if the connecting user (validated by password) may read or write

write ok = yes

# this one attempts to restrict “cross access” e.g. the user lars.appel

# to the home of manager.sys -- but may cause problems for some clients

valid users = %S
