+ <para>This parameter specifies a directory to which
+ the user of the service is to be given access. In the case of
+ printable services, this is where print data will spool prior to
+ being submitted to the host for printing.</para>
+
+ <para>For a printable service offering guest access, the service
+ should be readonly and the path should be world-writeable and
+ have the sticky bit set. This is not mandatory of course, but
+ you probably won't get the results you expect if you do
+ otherwise.</para>
+
+ <para>Any occurrences of <parameter moreinfo="none">%u</parameter> in the path
+ will be replaced with the UNIX username that the client is using
+ on this connection. Any occurrences of <parameter moreinfo="none">%m</parameter>
+ will be replaced by the NetBIOS name of the machine they are
+ connecting from. These replacements are very useful for setting
+ up pseudo home directories for users.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that this path will be based on <link linkend="ROOTDIR">
+ <parameter moreinfo="none">root dir</parameter></link> if one was specified.</para>
