samba

[Kerry Hoath]

You need a homes share, add a homes share in under swat otherwise home 
directories won't share.

Samba never never never shares something by default except for the ipc$ 
share, if you want home directories shared create a share for them.
Here is an example to work from, make sure you
are happy with the create and directory create masks.


[homes]
read only=no
browsable=no
create mask=0770
directory create mask=0700
valid users=%s
