Thanks

Jim,

Actually in the .conf file I changed the path to / and put two valid users
admin , user1.

When I try to connect to the share of user1 instead of being put at the root
of the box I am put at /home/sites/<site>/users/user1/  Then when I connect
to the share as admin I am put at /home/sites/home/user/admin/  when I want
to be put a / on both.

Thanks

Jon
