Samba Fileshare Subdirectory

Hi,

I am trying to run a Samba server to share files in the following way:

There are two users, both with their own fileshares in /home/$U on the samba server

I want to be able to log into the samba server on a user account, under \\server\home\User, and be able to roam back to \\server\home, where I intend to have a public share for both users also.

Both user shares need to be password protected, so the other user cannot look at the other fileshare.

The following does what I am looking to do, except without the subdirectory \home, so this is my main problem.

Code:
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes

   [User1]
   valid users = User1
   path - /home/User1
   writeable = yes
   browsable = yes
   writable = yes
  
   [User2]
   valid users = User2
   path = /home/User2
   browseable = yes
   writeable = yes

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great
 
Don't use the "home" as the rood directory for your public share. You can create another directory for example /home/public and share it for all users with write permissions.

Edit:
you can also restrict users with "valid users" per share"
