samba - Oct 2007 - homes directory visible only for one user

Hi!
I'm kinda new, so i'm  wondering how should i configure [homes] section,
so
only two of many users (e.g. "user1" and "user2") could see
it shared in
network (so only those users could access their homes)?

thanks in advance, andrej

By default home directories are share for the respective users, if you 
want to share one directory for 2 users better configure a new share.

 From the man page for smb.conf:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html

valid users (S)

     This is a list of users that should be allowed to login to this 
service. Names starting with '@', '+' and '&' are
interpreted using the
same rules as described in the invalid users parameter.

     If this is empty (the default) then any user can login. If a 
username is in both this list and the invalid users list then access is 
denied for that user.

     The current servicename is substituted for %S. This is useful in 
the [homes] section.

     Default: valid users = # No valid users list (anyone can login)

     Example: valid users = greg, @pcusers
