We have two shares for each user, one for their homedir and one for their 
public_html.  Here is our share config:

[homes]
         comment = Home Directories
         browseable = false
         read only = no
         create mode = 0700
         hide files = /public_html/

[public_html]
         comment = Web page
         read only = no
         path = %H/public_html
         create mode = 0755
