Actually, this seems like a real problem.  I have 30+ users, each with a 
home directory on my samba server. I have 3.0 on a test server now, to 
get everything worked out before moving it online. Good thing, eh?

While your solution works for a single user, I'd still like to see the 
question answered for a multiuser environment.
