Well you would have to, what with it being a 'standalone server' ;-)

Well it probably wouldn't, unless you are connecting as 'user1' or 
'user2', they are the only users that will be allowed access. I would 
have expected some thing like this:

[homes]
         comment = Home Directories
         browseable = no
         read only = no
         create mask = 0700
         directory mask = 0700
         valid users = %S

You would also have to set the users homedir in /etc/passwd and Samba.
