Homes is a special share that shares out every valid SMB users's unix
homes directory (I think I got that right). The smb.conf man page can
explain it much better than I. It is not enough to be disallowing
logins. The worst that can happen is if a login script has a line like:

net use h: /home

it won't map the drive and will give an error. This in turn may prevent
profiles and things from working if they are set up on the user's home
drives (which I think is default windows behaviour).

I hope this helps.
