[Samba] Home Drive Mapping problems

I've got Samba 3.0 on a Debian stable system set up to authenticate
using an LDAP server (also on the Debian system), and I'm having
problems getting home drive mapping to work. What I would like, is that
if someone browses to the Samba server (on a win2k PC), they can see all
the home drives of all the users on the server and also have read-only
access to them. The owner of a home drive would have it mapped to their
win2k machine and have read-write access, obviously. Here's the entry I
have in LDAP for the home drive:
sambaHomePath: \\<PDC>\homes
and here's my [homes] section in smb.conf:
[homes]
# path =/home/%u
comment = Home Directories
# valid users = %S
browseable = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
If I enable valid users, then no one can log into their home drives. In
fact, I can't figure out what user IS valid to look at the home drive.
I can sort of get things to work if I enable the path variable, but then
I have an issue that every home drive the user looks at on the server is
their home drive. For example, if userA looks on the PDC, he sees
drives for userA, userB, and userC. If userA looks in any of the drives
all he sees is the contents of userA's home drive. All of the examples
I've looked at don't use the path variable in [homes], but if I don't
then windows reports the share isn't accessable when browsing to it.
What am I doing wrong?
