is there anyway one could make a symlink (or something like that) point to a different place for different users?

Could you explain a bit more of what you are trying to accomplish?

sorry i didnt explain more,

ok i've got a /pub that i've got shared with samba, in it i've got a mame32 directory for all the windows boxes to play the arcade roms i've got, but anyway i'd like to have the config directory in there point to maybe to a config directory the users home directory, i have no idea if this is possible, more likely to not be than to be. this is what i'd want to do maybe

I believe samba can do what you want. Try the samba documentation, esp. "Variable Substitutions".
