- <listitem><para>This specifies a UNIX user name that will be
- assigned as the default user for all users connecting to this service.
- This is useful for sharing files. You should also use it carefully
- as using it incorrectly can cause security problems.</para>
-
- <para>This user name only gets used once a connection is established.
- Thus clients still need to connect as a valid user and supply a
- valid password. Once connected, all file operations will be performed
- as the &quot;forced user&quot;, no matter what username the client connected
- as. This can be very useful.</para>
-
- <para>In Samba 2.0.5 and above this parameter also causes the
- primary group of the forced user to be used as the primary group
- for all file activity. Prior to 2.0.5 the primary group was left
- as the primary group of the connecting user (this was a bug).</para>
