i did not use the homeshares in that way. Try in your [homes]-section
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/%U
guest ok = no
browseable = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 775
This makes your homedir directly point to your users homedir. try it
without the selinux for homedir-support for samba.
I created a separate homedir for my samba-shares in /users. If you
wanna
try this, just replace /home by whatever you want - don't forget to
change it in your smb.conf either.

Roger,
I'm talking about a windows share. The smb icon on the FC4 desktop
created by connect to computer.
The FC4 username home dir is also shared out to windows, works fine.
I don't believe you used that method on FC4T3 within the last week. :)
SELinux turned OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! What year are you in? Never say that
again.
Darwin - I repoted this as a bug, which it is.
P. S. This is my first reply and is built from the digest so if it is
out of place, that's why. I now have real time mail.
