When yuo have homes section as i write then samba automatic create share for
logged user by name used to login and map it to home path set in shell
passwd database. Then if you open network neigb. and click on samba name
your sharelist is with all defined shares plus name by logged user for home
share. When you execute command
net use x: \\sambaname\homes it creates identical connection as net use x:
\\sambaname\jlf5783 if you looged to win machine as jlf5783.

Bye.
