I have a problem with the homes share on my Samba server. If a user accesses \~nobody they are presented with access to the root directory. I tried to fix this by making that user invalid but with no luck. The network itself is fairly secure but with a few stupid curious users inside it. Any ideas on how to fix this? I need guest on for some shares, so turning that off all together will cripple things I need to run. I'm running Samba 3.0.11-1.
[homes]
browseable = no
delete readonly = yes
wide links = no
invalid users = nobody,pcguest
only user = yes
revalidate = yes
comment = Home Directories
valid users = jjohnson
user = jjohnson
guest = no--

I'm not so familiar with configuring network-services ... but it seems the user "nobody" has as home-directory "/" in the "/etc/passwd" file. Maybe if you remove this entry and leave it empty you won't have this problem ... ofcourse, they shouldn't have access to the files of the user nobody at teh first place. Some servers run under that user I think.
I suppose samba can limit the view of guests ... Anyway, if that isn't true, maybe they can view all the thinsg wich are world-readable?
Hopes this helps,

I just gave it an empty home directory... I don't see why setting it to invalid in the smb.conf didn't work though. I'll just play with it some more and see where it goes.
