Restrict a user (Give him/her a personal folder)

Post by Thewiruz »

Okey i believe im getting crazy. Why should everything be this hard.

I am trying to restrict a user from seeing all folders on my NAS. That seams impossible?
I have created a personal folder on my NAS called JESSIE. I created a share under Cifs/SMB pointed to that folder only /mnt/xxxx/JESSIE/
Now i created a user (Name,Password) and set the home directory to that Folder JESSIE. Well that isnt enough obviously.

In windows it would be straightforward but hey not here. This user has full access to all drives even if I pointed out the home directory.

What do i need to do to restrict users to their own folders?

Thanks been following these and its not working. The user still has full access to the server!

I have shared the whole server for me from mnt and up.
