How do I define a samba share so that every user can only see its own home?

Question

I would like to make every user's home directory from Debian machine to be available by its owner only (using Samba) but for now (with default Samba configuration) I can access other users /homes.

Here is the [home] config part :

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
public = no
read only = no
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
valid users = ashley joe %S

By logging on ashley's account from Windows 7 machine I can browse joe's home. How should I configure this ?

Solution

I think you should change valid users = ashley joe %S to only valid users = %S. In your example, ashley, joe and %S [the name of the share] is always valid, so ashley and joe can reach all homes, any other (if there are) users should only see their own in the example you gave.

For others finding this via google %S is the name of the Current share's name, see oreilly.com/openbook/samba/book/appc_01.html#appc-88529 for a list of all varaibles
