Problem sharing /home directory with samba

darni

Hi all.. Just reinstalled gentoo (removed windows) and having problems. here is my smb.conf:

[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
load printers = yes
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
obey pam restrictions = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
dns proxy = no
server string = AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Gentoo
printing = lprng
unix password sync = Yes
workgroup = Nexus
os level = 20
printcap name = /etc/printcap
security = share
max log size = 0
pam password change = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.

[music]
path = /home/darni/music
guest ok = yes
comment = music
read only = yes

[movies]
path = /idetwo/movies
guest ok = yes
comment = movies
read only = yes

[tv-series]
path = /ideone/tv-series
guest ok = yes
comment = tv-series
read only = yes

here is a part of h.log:

[2004/03/05 21:23:12, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(677)
'/home/darni/music' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [music]
[2004/03/05 21:23:16, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(705)
h (192.168.1.34) connect to service movies initially as user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65534) (pid 3489)
[2004/03/05 21:23:21, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(887)
h (192.168.1.34) closed connection to service movies

I am sharing my files to my xbox downstairs and to my other pc. Is there some mystical in home directory or why isn't it working? tv-series and movies directorys work fine. Any ideas? I am a big newbie in linux world

Does the directory /home/darni/music exist?

Are the permissions correct on that directory?

of course the dir exists, I'm not that newbie

permissions are same in tv-series and movies dirs.

maybe some parent directory has strict permissions?
Not sure and it's sort of illogical but I remember problems accessing directorys even directly when I had set very strict permissions for their parent directorys, for example having

/home/flolp set to rwx/---/---
and trying to access

/home/flolp/test set to rwx/rwx/rwx

Check your permissions on /home and /home/darni

You might also try to set

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes

which is in the default samba file, although you have to provide your samba username and password this way.
