find your /etc/samba/smb.conf, edit it for your home-directories e.g.

[homes]
   comment = Private Home Directories
   path = /users/%U
   guest ok = no
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   create mask = 775

The path-entry makes only visible the users homedir. Adding users you do with smbpasswd. 'smbpasswd -a username' adds
a user to your samba. Usually they also should exist in your shadow-file (if i am not wrong...)

Before you login, create your machine accounts with smbpasswd -m machinename (don't put a $ in front!).
