[Samba] Connecting HOME-Drives

[Paul Gienger]

Let me see if I follow you here... you want 3 drives connected 
simultaneously with 3 different users?  If that's the case then you 
can't do that, you open one session with the server which can have one 
user specified.

This isn't a limitation of Samba, if you try to connect windows to 
windows in situations where you need to change your username you'll see 
an error about conflicting credentials.
