Hi,

with 2.2.9pre1 from cvs
(ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked/samba_2_2 - downloaded on 14. Sep
2003) the special [homes]- section is broken. The shares with names of
the users are not visible anymore (access is granted).
Switching back to 2.2.8a with the same smb.conf and all is fine.
Client is WinXPPro.
