1) I'm not sure about htis but from the top of my head I think you 
have to remove   'path = /home/%U'n from the homes section.
Samba already knows that [homes] maps to the users home 
directory.

2) Also I think that a workgroup name of '1' is invalid. It's better to 
supply a real name like 'account' or 'managers'.

3) 'host allow 192.168.0.' is invalid, you must use this form: 'host 
allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.4.' for testing it's save to just leave it out, 
samba will then try to bind itself to all interfaces and if you sepcify it 
add the localhost (127.0.0.1)

SO Far,
