users = %S

Typo? Shouldn't this be 'valid users = %S'

Not according to : http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/securing-samba.html

First - that is an old reference (May 2003) - before 3.0 was released...

An excerpt:
The only user works in conjunction with the users = list, so to get the behavior you require, add the line:
users = %S

This is equivalent to adding
valid users = %S

to the definition of the [homes] share, as recommended in the smb.conf man page.

Yes, but I think you are misreading this...

It is not telling you to add 'users = %S' to the [homes] share - it said:

"The only user works in conjunction with the users = list", and then it said:

"adding the line: users = %S... IS THE EQUIVALENT OF adding 'valid users = %S' TO THE DEFINITION OF THE HOMES share."

I read this as, the 'only user' and the 'users = list' is some other way of validating users...

At least, thats how I read it.

In all honesty, I'm not sure what this 'The only user' is...
