[Samba] (no subject)

I have just setup a Linux box (Suse 9.0) to act as an
internet gateway
and file server.  The installation has gone very well,
but I am having
a problem with my Samba server. (I have a small
network with about 4
client computers, all Windows boxes.)

Problem 1: I set "Share Homes" in the Samba
configuration, but none of
the user folders or even the Home directory could be
seen from the
client machines.  I could only see the Shares Printer
folder.

Problem 2: To solve that, I manually added a share for
each users' folders.  I could then see the folders,
but when I try to open the folder from the client
machine, it asks for a user name and password.  I have
tried all known user names and passwords including
root, and none will work.

I then changed the "Allow Guest" to "true" in the
Samba configuration for the shared folders.  I can now
open and read the folders but cannot make any changes
to the files.

Ultimately, I want each user to have read/write priv.
and for their folder to be password protected.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
