so you mean there are different rights for each protocol? i can configure write access for user test for afp but no rights over smb?
i only found one access setting in the pane.
and yes, i mean disable home folders for users, which is often wanted by our customers.
You can see in Shares->Settings->Access page, there're several tags like SMB/AFP/NFS/FTP/RSYNC/HTTP, click each tag you can go the specific page for each protocol, and you can set whatever permissions you want for the users or groups. So yes, of course you can set a user has write permission for the share via AFP but no rights via SMB. All you need to do is goto the protocol tag, turn it on for this share, and set the user permission.
For disable home folders, it's just no support this now. But we have a plan to enhance home folders thing. I can tell our RD customers want this feature.
