    I normally try in my [homes]
        comment = Home Directory for %u on %D\%S
        valid users = %D\%S, %S

    It does not look pretty while testing, but at least you can see what 
is been past ... The logic ( at least in my fuzy brain ) is that the 
share name ( which is %S ), is the same as the user login into the share 
... so when you view your server and see all your shares ( I put my view 
into detailed ) you should see the comment for the share, which should 
say "Home Directory for leet on leet".

    If "share name" of [homes], which is normally the user logging 
should be equale to one of the "valid users" values ...

    Don't worry, winbind is only really needed if you are going to Trust 
an M$ ADS domain ... if you are not using it then it's was not what I 
throught it was that which I ran into ...

P.S. I hope this makes sense ...
