RE: [cobalt-developers] Samba

["Jim Thomas" <jimt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,
The only thing I can think of is that you have named the shares the same as
the user name.  Samba creates home directory shares for each user
automatically.  If you name another share the same name as a user, I think
the home directory share will override it.  Try naming the shares something
other than the user name.

Cheers,
  Jim

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
