[Samba] "shadow" folders in XP explorer?

Samba 2.2.8 which is also PDC, logon from windows XP WS.

If different users log on from the same WS one can tell the "history" of the
logons because upon exploring the samba server one can see all the other
users home shares; I mean the previously logged in users. That is if John
logs in to XP WS and the samba server was just started he sees his home. If
he logs off and then Jane logs in, Jane can see on the samba server her home
and a share "John" that she can not access. If samba gets a restart the
ghost "home" disappears immediately. Anybody with a hint on how to avoid
this kind of behavior?

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   public = no
   create mode = 0700
   directory mode = 0700
