Hi Tracy,

This depends on your setup of the share and the MPE security.

See this example out of my smb.conf:

[root]
comment=root directory of HP3000
fake oplocks=yes
guest ok=yes
path=/

Such a share will show you the whole structur of the MPE box but it is not
recommended. Any user of this share can go into each directory/group of the box.
But you may start a test.

For my web activity I use this share:

[APACHE]
comment=APACHE Web Server
path=/APACHE
write ok=yes
user=MGR.APACHE

If I logon for this share I see the whole's account structure including HFS.

What you can see is always dependent from the setup and the internal security.
If you are allowed for /ACCOUNT/GROUP you are not allowed to go back to see
another group in the same account but you will see HFS directories below like
/ACCOUNT/GROUP/subdir and their contents.

Remember: having changed the smb.conf you can activitate the new setup with
INETD.NET.SYS -c

Hope that will help,
best regards, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

Now that I've Samba/iX up and running so to speak,
I find it annoying that the user's I've mapped
only get access to one group in one account.
(The one it is mapped to.)

How would one configure a user in smb.conf so that
they could access their home directory and all those
below it?

Even when I configured the admin user to be say....
manager.sys, I find that only the files in /SYS/PUB/
were accessible, and I could not navigate up and down
the Posix tree.

Obviously there I misunderstand some basic parameter
that I should be using.

Are there any decent smb.conf examples out there?
