Samba 3.0 problem to setting up private folder - FreeBSD 71-pre

[bsduser]

Hello ... I am new in Samba. I have 13 users in my local network, and each of these users own their home folder. what I want to do is to permit each users to have acces to their home folder only, with username and passwd or something like that ... I created as test user "winuser" and I add it in /etc/group as well,

winuser:*:1012:1012::0:0:Windows Q. User:/home/winuser:/bin/tcsh

and thats what I put in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = FREEBSDBOX
netbios name = Share
server string = %h-the-FreeBSD-Samba-Server
security = share
load printers = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
passdb backend = tdbsam

[winuser]
comment = %h Windows User Share Directory
path = /usr/home/winuser/Docs
force directory mode = 0777
force create mode = 0777
force user = winuser
force group = winuser
writeable = yes
read only = no
browseable = yes

[public]
comment = %h Shared Public Directory
path = /usr/home/samba/public
force directory mode = 0777
force create mode = 0777
public = no
writeable = yes
read only = no

comment = %h Rackbsd home
path = /usr/home/rackbsd
force directory mode = 0777
force create mode = 0777
public = no
writeable = yes
read only = no

So, as you can see for the user "winuser" I put these line here "force user = winuser" "force group = winuser" but unfortunately I can still join and doing whatever I want with every samba users in winuser home folder ... how come ? whats wrong in my /usr/local/etc/smb.conf ?? perhaps is there another way to do it ??

[winuser]
comment = %h Windows User Share Directory
path = /usr/home/winuser/Docs
valid users = winuser
public = no
writeable = yes

Check the user's home directory permissions. Also you don't need those lines, because you are giving the folder wrong permissions:

force directory mode = 0777
force create mode = 0777

Thanks for your help, I tried your solution. but I think something is still mess up on this smb.conf, its still doesn't work, this time, when I tried to mount "winuser" shared folder, I got a message that said that it can't mount that share ... weird right ?

by the way, after put ur solution in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf I launched testparm for see if there is any mistake, and I got this

[winuser]
        comment = %h Windows User Share Directory
        path = /usr/home/winuser/Docs
        valid users = winuser
        read only = No

What do you mean by "mounting" the share? Perhaps log in the Samba server?
Post your full smb.conf and the folder permissions of winuser.

I just fixed the shared folders permision and I finally got it work properly, anyways, if you interested to see it, thats my smb.conf

[global]
        workgroup = FREEBSDBOX
        netbios name = SHARE
        server string = %h-the-FreeBSD-Samba-Server
        security = SHARE
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        load printers = No

[winuser]
        comment = %h Windows User Share Directory
        path = /usr/home/winuser/Docs
        valid users = winuser
        read only = No

[public]
        comment = %h Shared Public Directory
        path = /usr/home/samba/public
        read only = No
        force create mode = 0777
        force directory mode = 0777

[Pietro]
        comment = %h Rackbsd home
        path = /usr/home/Pietro/Docs
        valid users = Pietro
        read only = No

[anna]
        comment = %h Anna Maria's home
        path = /usr/home/anna/Docs
        valid users = anna
        read only = No

I am gonna to add the rest of the network users, so they can have their own shared folder tomorrow Thanks so much

Take another look at the default smb config file. It contains a share that will provide all users with their home directory, accessible only to them.

It also contains examples for how to create other dynamic shares. For a reference, check out the VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS section of the man page.
