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 ?

Answer 1

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.
