samba - Jan 2001 - //server/sharename%user question

I have a problem I'm trying to solve.  We're using Windows 98 machines
as
the client computers.  Every user has a home directory and can access
their files through the [homes] interface.

I would like to be able to access multiple home directories at the same
time in the case where 2 people may be working on a project and need
access to both their home directories at the same time.  Windows NT will
let you supply a different user name for each share you access, but it
appears Windows 98 will not (different passwords, but not users).  The
documentation seems to say you can use //server/sharename%user, but that
does not seem to work for me.

Could someone tell me how to do this?

Thank you
John Aughey

Do you have to use the home shares?  Why not create a separate share
that only they have access to?
