Hi people,

i'm using samba 2.2.4 in a heterogen network.
When i use the Networkneihbourhood on a Winxx-Client
i see the /home/user directory on the samba-server twice.

One time the directory is called "user" 
(i.e it has the name of the user, example: harry)
the other is i see it as "homes".

My smb.conf (partly) :

There are no other shares,
