<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>
