[Samba] Why is an extra 'home' dir showing up?

[Daevid Vincent]

Thanks for the prompt reply. I made the change so it's like this:

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   writable = yes
   read only = no
   guest ok = no
   public = no
   security = user

And it does put me in the "dae51d" directory now.
However a "homes" directory STILL shows up and is now identical to
"dae51d".

So it basically is now 'inverted' so to speak

"\\linux\dae51d" show up (I assume it's b/c that's who I am logged in as
on XP which maps to linux)? However, the fact that it does show up,
shouldn't it be the actual HOME directory of the linux user account
dae51d (as in /home/dae51d/)? Instead, it is exactly the same as the
"/home" directory when I click on it.
