Yes, execute bit is enough. While Nautilus in Gnome offers to set some permissions automatically for the shared folder, it does not set it for parent (home) folder.
Somehow after a fresh install permissions for my home were drwx------. For newly created desktop users (after the installation), their home permissions were drwxr-xr-x. I have a question: doesnt setting X bit violate any privacy for me? I would like to share a single directory in my home without loosening permissons for the rest of home. -- usershares guest_ok=y results in "Permission denied" error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
