[GRLUG] Samba home directories

Realized recently that the Samba mechanism to share home directories does
not provide write permissions for users; This configuration allows
everyone to see the user directories:

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    valid users = %S, %D%w%S
    browseable = NO
    inherit acls = Yes
    read only = No

However no browse or write permission IN a directory:

$ smbclient //mainserver/<user> -U <user>
Enter <workgroup>\<user>'s password:
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \> ls
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \*
smb: \>

Any thoughts would be appreciated, ..

	Thanks!
