Okay. I've removed a bunch of useless stuff from my smb.conf, thinking
maybe one thing in one place was negating another but, as I've said, I
don't know what I'm doing. I've posted the new .conf below, but it's
basically the old one with half the stuff removed. I've made a folder
called /test and shared it, setting the "valid users" to the "atshared"
group, and made a particular user a member of this group; I've also
changed the /test folder's properties so that its group ownership is
also atshared. When I log on as the member of atshared, though, I still
only see his home folder. Might this have something to do with the way
my [homes] section is set up?

As for the whole drive mapping in XP thing, the error I get is first a
box that says "The network folder specified is currently mapped using a
different user name and password. To connect using a different user
name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this
network share." Click OK and then another window pops up saying "The
mapped network drive could not be created because the following error
has occurred: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by
the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.
Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource
and try again.."
