When I ran into this, I found that you can turn off sharing of /Users
after you have pointed a home directory to live there.
With sharing off of /Users, the home directory still mounts as
expected on login, but the user only sees their own home and can't
move up out of it (maybe via FTP; that was an issue once).
I believe you don't even need to re-enable sharing of /Users to add
new user homes to /Users after you have one active home directory in
it; could be that you need to bounce it just to add a new user and
then back off, however.
Probably breaks ~/Public, as others can't browse to it, but who
cares. You're going to set up workgroup related sharepoints anyways.
I keep my /Users on a different partition than the OS; I wonder if
that matters.

I am using OS X Server to share directories for users (both Mac and
Windows). Of course, this uses both SMB and AFP. I have the
sharepoints
set up for the user directories, but the problem is that a user can
go all
the way to the top user directory and then browse other user
directories.
It's not a problem for files that are private because even though
you can
navigate to the other user folders, you cannot get into their
Documents
folder, etc. However, just the fact that other users can see those
directories makes people think it's a free for all.
Does anyone know how I can lock the user into their own directory
on the
network share and not allow them to go above their location?
I've fought and fought and cannot get it to work that way.
Mike
