Hello,
I have the following shares in my /etc/smb.conf:
[jerry]
   comment = %S Backup Directory
   path = %H
   valid users = jerry administrator
   writable = yes
   printable = no

[jenni]
   comment = %S Backup Directory
   path = %H
   valid users = jenni administrator
   writable = yes
   printable = no

[tom]
   comment = %S Backup Directory
   path = %H
   valid users = tom administrator
   writable = yes
   printable = no

[rob]
   comment = %S Backup Directory
   path = %H
   valid users = rob administrator
   writable = yes
   printable = no

[admin]
   comment = %S Backup Directory
   path = %H
   valid users = administrator
   writable = yes
   printable = no

As you can see I (administrator) have access to all directories for
backup reasons.
I am running Windows2000.
If I copy a file to my (admin) directory I see the file show up in
everyone's directory.
This causes a problem because when the backup program runs it backs up
everything in my (admin) directory one time for each user (because it
sees my files in their directories for some reason).
