[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
an attempt to access an existing home directory fails
$ smbclient //myhost/deejoe
added interface ip=129.186.XXX.YYY bcast=129.186.XXX.255
nmask=255.255.255.0

tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid
share name)
The same smb.conf [homes] stanza in 2.0.7 serves up home directories just
fine.
An explicitly defined share works fine:
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
; public = yes
[deejoe@myhost deejoe]$ smbclient //myhost/tmp
added interface ip=129.186.XXX.YYY bcast=129.186.XXX.255
nmask=255.255.255.0

(Codepage messages went away when I made a symlink
/etc/codepages -> /usr/share/samba/codepages)
