By the way, what is a sharename?
I've always used the term to mean a shared dirtree identified in smb.conf
;i.e. share for storing user profiles
[profiles]
such that the stanza contains a dir path
path = /var/lib/samba/profile
and metadata defining its use and by whom; or, sharename == [share]
Hope I'm right:)

Well, that fits the samba perspective of a sharename. The windows view
is that it is the name of a shared resource. They map to the same thing
conceptually. A share can be a directory or a device such as a printer
that is made available on one computer for use by other computers using
Windows networking.
A sharename is really just a label for a shared resource.
Hope this helps.
