Hi

This is what i want to do :
each windows pc will have its own /home/username on this samba server.
for example i have added 3 users so far and my .conf is like this :
[george]
   comment = Home
   path = /home/george
   #valid users = %S
   read only = no
   browsable = yes
[trandism]
   comment = Home
   path = /home/trandism
   read only = no
   browsable = yes
[xristoforos]
   comment = Home
   path = /home/xristoforos
   read only = no
   browsable = yes


now , when each user logs in will he get a \\serverip\username on his
explorer window?

i will include here my smb.conf too . make any suggestions you want ;)
