Have you tried with %U (not %u)? I have not tried this, but apparently
it is the session username (ie requested username, not necessarily the
given username).

Good day,
I'm having a few problems with Samba 3.0.2a, specifically involving
the username character substitute, %u. For some reason, Samba resolves
the %u character wrongly when used in the "path" parameter, where it
resolves it as the guest account. However, the server in question has
"map to guest" set to never and both "guest ok" and "guest only" set
to 0. The odd thing is, however, that the %u substitution in the
"comment" parameter is resolves correctly to the username, showing a
comment as expected with the mapped username. However, the logs show
that even though the user is mapped and then authenticated correctly,
it still connects to the share as a guest user. The question is, how
do I get Samba to properly connect to the share with the authenticated
username instead of the guest account? Also, given the configuration
given below, I should be unable to access the "nico" share, because my
win2k username maps to jeroen. Samba connects me as the guest user
again, giving me access to the share, even after I added "invalid
users = nobody" as a test. Following are a few testparm dumps ( only
modified parameters ) and the relevant log entries:
