That's not a good idea.  If you did it that way, all users on the
desktop would have the same permissions, to each others home
directory. 

What you probably want for a setup like this is to a NFS mount.  If
your heart is set on using SMB, however, it can be done.  I don't have
a howto immediately at hand. :(
