That's exactly why the Samba [homes] share behaves
specially. It allows you to type the [homes]
information only once, yet create shares for every
user (potentially hundreds). If you find yourself
typing ...and typing ...and typing, back up and try to
be more clever about leveraging the Samba [homes]
capability. 

([homes] can be used for _any_ one set of shares,
USUALLY home directories [hence the name] but not
necessarily.)

thanks!

P.S. *All* Microsoft Windows products could mount only
the share itself not a folder inside the share until
recently.
