How can I disable access to home/personal shares

[e_borri]

I see every account has its own home share but I cannot find a way to disable this feature.
On the old Readynas NV+ (version 1) this option was available, but I cannot find it in the new NV+ V. 2.

Am I missing something?

Once a local user added, his home directory is added too. It cannot be disabled in NV+ v2 and Duo v2.

Many thanks, Leia;

I hope this can be fixed for next drop or in the final release of Raidiator. 🙂

Ciao and thanks again!

I wonder if I can hack the system editing the file
/etc/default/config/etc/default/services
indicating "USER_HOME_DIRECTORY=0" instead than the current value "USER_HOME_DIRECTORY=1"

In fact, maybe I can get the configuration archive from the device, i can edit it and I can upload it... 🙂

But I prefer wait for an official release of Raidiator allowing this feature. 🙂

Hi Enzo,

Here is a simple solution to your problem (which I used myself) :

Just login as root via the SSH root terminal.
Then go to /c/home
There you will see the user-directories. Suppose yours is /c/home/enzo
Then just change the owner and the group properties of the "enzo" directory to "admin".

cd /c/home
chown admin enzo
chgrp admin enzo

Et voila, the directory will not show up as a share anymore !

Kind regards,

Z.

Cool! Thanks for the tip!!!

Tomorrow I will try to do this. 🙂

Thanks again!
Enzo

chgrp admin enzo

My UNIX is a little rusty, but wouldn't that simply convert it to a share that only the admin account has access/visibility to?
I'm not suggesting this would be a bad thing, in fact it might be the answer to what I'd prefer to do:
If that change is applied, would the target shares then be visible in ReadyNAS Dashboard so that they can be managed there?

To disable private home shares you can edit /etc/default/services using vi
change the line

USER_HOME_DIRECTORY=1

to

USER_HOME_DIRECTORY=0

Then reboot your NAS.

I can make an add-on to do this.

Edit: Looks like I need to edit an entry in a sqlite3 database file as well.

I thought I saw a post earlier that said the file is locked down in the current version, but I could have misread.

How hard is it to write add-ons for these devices?
Might be a useful skill to have in my back pocket.

Looks like I need to edit an entry in a sqlite3 database file as well to make this change stick.

It's not very hard to write an add-on like this. It just takes a bit of time.

[Unhappy_Custom2]

Wow... I guess that means you're already working on it. 😄
Thanks once more, and best of luck!
I know I'm not the only one out there looking for an add-on for that.

If you get stuck, please post back just the same, so I know to try the SSH method instead.

[mdgm-ntgr]

A bit stuck on the add-on at the moment (hopefully a solution will be found in the next few days).

Here is the sqlite3 command that needs to be entered

# sqlite3 /var/readynasd/db.sq3 "UPDATE service_misc SET val='0' WHERE key='USER_HOME_DIRECTORY'"

this doesn't work for me on 6.0.8 - always gets set back to 1 in services file, remains 0 in db..

[mrQQ]

found it, you have to use table service_cifs
