This is a list of users that should be allowed to login to this service. Names starting with '@', '+' and '&' are interpreted using the same rules as described in the invalid users parameter. If this is empty (the default) then any user can login. If a username is in both this list and the invalid users list then access is denied for that user. The current servicename is substituted for %S. This is useful in the [homes] section. Note: When used in the [global] section this parameter may have unwanted side effects. For example: If samba is configured as a MASTER BROWSER (see local master, os level, domain master, preferred master) this option will prevent workstations from being able to browse the network. invalid users No valid users list (anyone can login) greg, @pcusers
