=>in my samba I am trying to share my home directories.  I have done this in the past and it worked correctly.  On 
=>this install I get.
=>
=>
=>\\LINUX\%U is not accessible the share name was not found!
=>be sure you typed correctley.
=>
=>my smb.conf looks like this 
=>
=>
=>[global]
=>	workgroup = 1 
=>	encrypt passwords = Yes
=>	hosts allow 192.168.0.
=>
=>[public]
=>	comment = public files
=>	path = /mnt/public
=>	read only = No
=>
=>[homes]
=>	comment = home directories
=>	path = /home/%U

What is the %U supposed to fetch on request? Someone's home dir??
I'm wondering how it will interprate that..

=>	read only = No
=>        browseable = No
=>
=>Please let me know what I forgot!
=>
=>
=>Regards
