+<listitem>
+ <para>This is a boolean option that controls whether
+ connections with usernames not in the <parameter moreinfo="none">user</parameter>
+ list will be allowed. By default this option is disabled so that a
+ client can supply a username to be used by the server. Enabling
+ this parameter will force the server to only use the login
+ names from the <parameter moreinfo="none">user</parameter> list and is only really
+ useful in <link linkend="SECURITYEQUALSSHARE">share level</link>
+ security.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that this also means Samba won't try to deduce
+ usernames from the service name. This can be annoying for
+ the [homes] section. To get around this you could use <command moreinfo="none">user =
+ %S</command> which means your <parameter moreinfo="none">user</parameter> list
+ will be just the service name, which for home directories is the
+ name of the user.</para>
+
+ <para>See also the <link linkend="USER"><parameter moreinfo="none">user</parameter>
+ </link> parameter.</para>

+ <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">only user = no</command></para>
