What do the logs show? If you are getting the same message in the logs, 
does the directory exist and is it accessible by the user who is connecting?

When you have security = share you don't authenticate as a user and as 
such you don't have a home directory. I would suggest sticking with user 
level security, share level is a left over from the 9x days and is 
pretty much obsolete.

Do you have a password server with the hostname "None"? Since you aren't 
using ADS or Domain security you should probably just remove this line.

The man page says not to change this, unless you have a good reason to 
keep it, you should probably remove this line as well.

If you are on a modern linux system (>2.6) messing with the buffers is 
unnecessary and (I believe) discouraged.

You also have some lines that are pointless unless you are using ldap or 
winbind, but they are unlikely to cause any damage.
