Folks,


I'm going to toy with long variable names in smb.conf
along with support SID strings in the valid users, etc...
Right now %%(name) looks attractive since we already use
%$(name) for environment variable support.

So for example, we would have something like:

	valid users = %%(domainsid)-513

for the DOMAIN\Domain Users SID.  Remember that the purpose
of this is to allow programmatic access without having
worry about localization issues surrounding well know domain
groups.  I'm sure people will find other clever ways to use
it as well.

How do people fell about that syntax ?




cheers, jerry
