What permissions are set on /home and /home/robkalmeijer ? Is ‘robkalmeijer’ a Samba user ? Also, are you aware that your ‘[public]’ share isn’t actually public ? ---

**Check directory permissions** : Verify that the directories under `/home` (e.g., `/home/robkalmeijer`, `/home/user`, `/home/public`) have the appropriate read/write permissions as required by the Samba configuration: ```auto ls -ld /home/robkalmeijer /home/user /home/public ``` ---

> [@robkalmeijer](#): > > There must be something with SELinux settings If it is, then it is easy to prove, set ‘SELINUX=disabled’ in /etc/sysconfig/selinux and reboot, if everything now works, it is Selinux, but don’t forget to put Selinux back to ‘enforcing’. ---
