	This looks worse than it is: he's connecting to them
	**as himself**, not as the share owners.  This is the
	equivalent of me saying ``cd /etc'' as a normal Unix user.
	I can look around, but not change things.

	If you want to prohibit people logging via Samba to
	one of these accounts,  consider adding an
	``invalid users = '' list, mentioning the accounts
	you don't want people to connect to.  For convenience,
	you might want to make a group, say ``daemons'', put
	the accounts into it and say ``invalid users = @daemons''.

	Just looking at the accounts?  I think you might do something
	with read only = yes and read lists, but I've not investigated
	it...
