Given your comments above, my feeling is that the smb.conf
syntax parser should be robust enough so as to not fail
in the presence of an extra space.  :-)  (even if it is 
not bulletproof)

To me, Simo's comment about using "user name" is a more
intuitive sytnax (in fact, we use this now in the username.map)
