Take a look at /etc/smb.conf - I think I changed mine ... the admin entry
now
looks like:

;admin BEGIN (do not delete this line)
[admin]
   comment = Root Directory
   path = /
   public = no
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   valid users = admin vanecek
   hide dot files = no
;admin END (do not delete this line)
;

See if that helps.

I gave this a try and I still could not browse all the users folders.  Did
not really make any noticeable changes in the Browser.  A couple of days
later I did check the smb.conf file and this is  what I had.  I noticed
Samba wrote a couple of more lines in that I did not leave in.  I'm
wondering if Cobalt has made this impossible to do. I obviously need to
learn more about Samba. Any ideas??

;paxadmin BEGIN (do not delete this line)
[paxadmin]
  path = /
  public = no
  browseable = yes
  writable = yes
  printable = no
  create mask = 0775
  valid users = admin @paxadmin
  force create mode = 0664
  force directory mode = 0775
  hide dot files = no
;paxadmin END (do not delete this line)
