With windows 2000 and xp you don't have to have matching users you will
get the chance to enter a user name and pass on accessing the share
The home dir share doe not require the path
A simple
[homes]
        read only = No
Will work fine have. You do need to add the user to samba with smbpasswd
-a user or pdbedit -a -u username depending on your version of samba and
password back end. I've stuck with smbpasswd -a user because it works fine
Also make sure your windows 2000 machine is just playing up for what ever
reason
