A warning about SMB sharing and file security
Authored by: hopthrisC on Jan 19, '04 03:39:18PM

Since I cannot reproduce that on a freshly installed box (which I didn't expect anyways!), I strongly believe that you yourself did something to the Samba config that brought about that behaviour you describe.

What commands did you actually use to "connects via SMB"?

Plus: even that you can /see/ the homes of every User on the system doesn't mean you can do anything with their data... The files are still protected by the basic UN*X permissions! (Unless you have connected with superuser privileges, in which case you really have other problems than seeing anybodies home directory).
