- Find this line
... ; security = user ...
- Replace with the following lines
security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
- Remove the ; in front of the following lines (there will text in between explaining what they do):
;[homes] ;comment = Home Directories ;browseable = no ;valid users = %S ;writable = yes
- If you want other network users to be able to edit to the folder then change
# By default, the home directories are exported read-only. Change next # parameter to 'yes' if you want to be able to write to them. ; writable = no
- Replace with the following lines
writable = yes
- Save the edited file
