Hi all,
is there on the net a Mac OS X Samba server 2.2.6 version (i need a .pkg file, not the tar.gz version like in the versiontracker database)??

How do i add a share only to my user when loggin from windows OS (!?!?! someone still call it 'OS' ... :)) ). I'd like to see my home dir and the /Volumes directory shared only to my user.

TIA

P.S. i'm a Jaguar user
 
Not sure you can - if you're an admin user, you get everything. Only non-admins only have their home directories. You could lower yourself to non admin if that would solve your problem?!
 
In Jaguar you can share your home directory for windows. You do that in the control panel Filesharing. In Windows you make a connection to "\\10.1.10.101\username"

To get to /Volumes you have to make a symbolic link in your homedir. You do that in terminal.
cd (just to be sure you are in your homedir)
ln -s /Volumes Volumes (creates the symolic link)

Then when you login to your homedir in Windows you can see the directory Volumes
In Jaguar you see Volumes as an alias sitting in you homedir

success
