samba home var directory permissions

[Guido Leisker]

Dear all

(thats a test ...)

[freigabe]
  path=/
    .
    .
    .
works fine until I want to change the working dir to /home. Thats nor allowed. I cant understand that, unix right to r and x are give to all (including "other").
Who is restricting this cd?
Using smbclient NT_STATUS_ ACCESS_DENIED is the result.

There is also no way to share the homes:
NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
NT_STATUS_...WRONG-Password..  or so comes variantly.

A simelar problem is with /var:
Here its allowed to "cd /var", but making a "ls /var" or "dir /var" is not allowed.

I am sure that the unix permissions are not the reason. Even 777-permissions does not solve the problem.

I found nothing about known issues to that. I think that a fedora specific problem. With Suse is has been working fine with the same settings.
Its seems to be no samba-problem, because efileman (if you know) has simelar problems.

thanks for any answers
