I recently set up a Samba file share on Raspian and when I login to it from a Windows, it shows the home directory for the logged in user.

Below is an excerpt from my /etc/samba/smb.conf file

[Backup] comment = Backup Folder path = /media/USBHDD/shares valid users = @users force group = users create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0755 read only = no

Below is a screen shot to show what I am experiencing:

My questions are:

  1. Is this common? (I don't want user's home directories to be displayed, just the backups)
  2. How can I make it so that the user's home directory is not displayed?

  • Does your /etc/samba/smb.conf have a `[homes] section? If so, that will be the place to disable showing the users' home directories. Commented Jul 28, 2014 at 2:57
  • Yes it does. I commented out the [homes] section and achieved the desired result. I will answer when I am allowed to. Commented Jul 28, 2014 at 3:23

/etc/samba/smb.conf has a [homes] section by default. Either comment this out, or make desired changes to it to prevent it being accessed.
