This will seem like the stupidest question in history bu bear with me. Just got a hold of a RadyNAS104. Drives in, software updated, all looking good. Until I come to add users. Added one. Didn't appear in list. Try to add it again and it told me it either existed or was reserved (it is only my name, which is not root or admin!). Tried a longer version of my name, still nothing on screen. But again still exists after another go. SO tried someone else in the house. Bingo - name appears. So apart from it telling me it hates me, what is going on? Thanks in advance for any help.
Nope - hadn't set a thing up since I got it. Of course now I'm struggling to find out where to set up home directories. Googled it but looks like the instructions were pre update.

You don't. You just set up the user account, and the home directory is created the first time they log in.
Thinking something not right here. Running the 104 unit with 6.2.5 on it. Where it should mention home folders (system > settings) I can't see anything like this. ANy ideas?

I don't know what you mean exactly.
Home folders are enabled on system->shared (there should be a "home" folder there identified as "special"). You can see if it is enabled there, and also select file protocols, private time machine backup, and snapshots.
If they are enabled, the first time you access the NAS with SMB using that users's credentials, the home folder is created.
Although if I use my windows box and connect it needs no password (not the same user name) and no sign of anything home related. Just shows first level of folders except for the home one.

That's because your windows box begins by presenting the windows user/password to the NAS. If that is accepted, it won't prompt. And because guest access is enabled for NAS shares by default, the NAS will accept the windows user/password even if it has not been created on the NAS.
The solution is to go into windows credential manager, and delete any existing credentials for the NAS. Then create a new windows credential, specifying the username/password for the appropriate NAS account.
There was nothing in credentials manager. But I changed a folder to allow access to me only. When I tried to log in I was prompted for details - that seems to heave created the home folder for me. Just for info in case anyone else is as hopeless as me! Thanks for your help.
Of course now I have an issue with loggin in from a Linux box. When I try to mount my home share (via CLI) it says that it is denied. Same username and password on both sides though.
