"force user" does not force a specific user to login but forces Samba to behave 
like being this user when using the share.

Example:
    force user = robert
    valid user = liz

The only one who can connect to this share is the user "liz", but when your create 
files on this share, they will get the owner "robert".

Stop XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX thinking the samba machine were the WINS server or stop Samba 
thinking there were another WINS server on your net.

Hasta la vista,
