Jon,
I don't understand the question.  You said:

Connecting to the machine from windows does not entail logging in to the
server.  If you mean that when you connected to a share, it asked you to
enter a password, then it will place you in the directory defined for the
share (defined in smb.conf).  If you mean you are logging into FTP (or
telnet, or SSH, etc.), you will start off in the directory for the user you
logged in as.

You can add as many shares to the share section of smb.conf, and set the
base directories wo wherever you like.

Guys

I have set up Samba following the following instructions posted to the list:
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-developers/2000-April/000737.html

Though when I actually log into machine I am pushed to the user's root
directory that I logged on as.  I would like to specify another directory
such as /home/sites/ .

Thanks
