I was trying to hide the user share by removing the read priv which was given to everyone. However this prevents anyone from loggin in locally to the server. It says that the HOME directory has moved.

what I want to prevent is a user called "practica" which I set up a folder and share for from being able to mount the users folder when they log on via AFP/FTP.

Thanks
Robert

Not sure I'm following you. You created a user and you don't want this particular user to be able to see anything other than their home directory? i.e. /Users/username

I created a folder on an external drive, made a share for it and a non-real user and targeted the users home directory to this external folder. However when the log in with AFP or FTP they have the option of mounting the Users folder since it has read access for everyone. I don't want the people wiht access ot this folder I set up to have access to the Public and Sites folder in the Users folder.

Hope this clears things up.

Just a guess butt:

Create a new root netinfo domain just for practica and add the users to that.
