One possibility :
>From the SMB-HOWTO   Around line 200 for Version 10 of the HOWTO file:

  The homes section allows a remote users to access their (and only
  their) home directory on the local (linux) machine).  That is, if a
  Windows user trys to connect to this share from their Windows
  machines, they will be connected to their personal home directory.
  Note that to do this, they must have an account on the linux box.
                    >>>>-------------------------------------------<<<<<<



  The sample smb.conf file below allows remote users to get to their
  home directories on the local machine and to write to a temporary
  directory.  For a Windows user to see these shares, the linux box has
  to be on the local network.  Then the user simply connects a network
  drive from the Windows File Manager or Windows Explorer.

  Note that in the following sections, additional entries for this file
  will be given to allow more resources to be shared.

       ; /etc/smb.conf

       ; Make sure and restart the server after making changes to this file,
ex:
       ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
       ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start

       ; Uncomment this if you want a guest account
       ; guest account = nobody
          log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
          lock directory = /var/lock/samba
          share modes = yes

       [homes]
          comment = Home Directories
          browseable = no
          read only = no
          create mode = 0750

       [tmp]
          comment = Temporary file space
          path = /tmp
          read only = no
          public = yes
