I can see that.

I use smb4k to connect.  I see 'homes' and am invited to put in a username and 
password, so I don't see any others.  In konqueror's lan browser I see only 
my own home directory on the server machine.  As I said, I'm mainly concerned 
these days with linux to linux, but I've just borrowed my granddaughter's 
Win98 box to test this out.  She can only see her own home directory.  There 
is a folder called 'homes' which may be a bit confusing, but in there she 
again sees only her own home directory.

I struggled so long to sort out problems I had a couple of months ago, and 
it's possible that I've changed more than strictly necessary, but at least it 
is working.  I think Danesh's problem stems from write-access permissions, 
but we'll see what he reports back.
