[Samba] Problem Seeing Linux Machine From Windows Machine

I am very new to Samba, so please excuse this naive question.
Samba seems to be working properly from my Red Hat 7.2 system. I am
using a GUI called xSMBrowser, and am able to transfer files back and
forth to the Windows machines on my network.
I now want to access my Linux system from a Windows 98 machine. I can see
it ('Mail') in 'My Network Places' within the workgroup called
'WORKGROUP', but I do not see any folders. I am logged into the Windows
machine as 'skidmore'.
Here is a snippet from my 'smb.conf'. I am obviously doing something
wrong:
============================================================================
# A private directory, usable only by fred. Note that fred requires write
# access to the directory.
[skidmore]
comment = Barry's Service
path = /home/skidmore
valid users = skidmore
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
=============================================================================
So, shouldn't I be able to see my home directory (skidmore) under 'Mail'
in Network Places?:
Network Places
WORKGROUP
Mail
skidmore
Thanks,
