just had a closer look at this.  grep for lp_invalid_users() in the 
source.  you will find that "invalid users" comes up as a 
FN_LOCAL_STRING(), and that it takes a SNUM() - a service - as a parameter.

if you place service parameters in the [global] section, then they become 
*defaults* for any services that you create, over-riding the compile-time 
defaults for any services that you create.  [note to djf - this answers 
your question that you asked a few weeks ago, while writing your win32 
smb.conf generator].
