I'm relatively inexperienced at this and am starting to get a little frustrated:
I have a Ubuntu Server with several user accounts. The Samba file server hosts a number of public shares + the home directories of each user as a private share. When connecting to the server using my OSX machine, I am prompted to enter my login data, and get a overview of all the public shares + my accounts home directory share. Exactly the way I want it.
How ever, when I connect to the server from a Ubuntu machine, I am never prompted to enter any login data, and can only see the public folders. If a user wants to connect to their home directory on the server, they have to go through "connect to server" and mount their specific private share.
Is there anyway to configure Samba or the Ubuntu client in a way that will make the user experience more similar to how it is on my OSX box?
Thank you for your time!
