samba - Jul 2007 - adding valid user to a home share

What is the easiest way to allow specific users access to other users home 
shares?

Current config is:
================[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        read only = no
        valid users = %S
        dos filetimes = Yes
        guest ok = no
================
Of course, I do want to continue to use the general [homes] share, but for 
some users to allow other than themselves (%S) access to their home shares. 
For example, allow jane to connect to john's home share as she needs access 
to his data.

Will a separate home share for these users overide the general [homes] share? 
Is there an easier way? Maybe some conditional syntax for valid users?

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I don?t use the parameter "valid users" in [homes] and control access
to
home directorys using extended filesystem acls.

I set the linux permissions such that the user is the only person who
has permissions on their share. They are the owner with 700
permissions on the root of their home folder.
