Problems with smbpasswd

Another note, I do have a [homes] section within smb.conf.
It looks like the following:

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        guest ok = no
        read only = no
        create mask = 0700
        printable = no
        available = yes

I looked at example smb.conf files and noticed that "browseable = no"
and "read only = no" is standard.  This was taken from tridge's sample
smb.conf file.  Even though the homes section did not show up within
the smbclient's output, the entry does exist.
