It is possible, because I am doing it. I have share=user and have home
directories viewable by the user and the admin (me). I have various
departmental shares that each department can access and no one else
(but the admin -- again me). Even shares that aren't browsable, so no
one even knows they are there if not given access.
And I have several public shares, some read-write, some read only with
install files and such. USers that try to access a share they have no
permission to get the logon box, but it will never actually auth
because their rights don't allow it.

I have no doubt it's possible....might it be possible for you to post a
sanitized version of your [globals] and one or two of the shares from
the smb.conf file so that I can compare what's working for you with
what's not working for me?

TIA,

A server that will also do domain logins and roaming profiles;

As I said, mine is a simple LAN. Here is the current version of [global] section and some of the shares. The 'domain master' line has never been in any of my older setups, but it was put in to cure the frequent battles to resolve masterships, mainly caused by family laptops that are not directly under my control.
[global]

workgroup = lydgate.lan
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = borg2
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
hosts allow = 192.168.0.  127.0.
acl compatibility = winnt
wins support = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = no
os level = 66
preferred master = yes
load printers = yes
printing = cups

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
#msdf proxy = yes

[DATA2]
path = /Data2
#read only = no
writeable = yes
public = yes

[DATA3]
path = /Data3/
#read only = no
writeable = yes
valid users = anne gillian david

The commented lines are ones that have been tried in both states, as 'read only' and 'writeable' seem to be preferable depending on which version of samba is being used. The security= line is no longer present (I gather from the advice I was given that the default is then 'user'). Home directories do not display.

I am able to mount both my home and the main data directory from fstab. using a credentials file.

Anne, I think your directories are not visable because you do not have
"browsable  = yes" in the share setups section??? Try that?

If you set browsable to yes, then EVERYBODIES home directories show up.
That is not usually what you want. If you want to share everything, just make one share and put everything under it.
