I'm sorry I don't have a fix for you. I reported this a few months
back, but nobody has been able to help. In my case I was using it as in
include = somefile.%U
Where I had several shares that I only wanted to be visible to people
if they could access them. Unfortunately these became "somefile.nobody".
So, I created a file "somefile.nobody" that consisted of:
include = somefile.user1
include = somefile.user2
etc. The Win2k people just get stuck looking at hundreds of shares. This gets
them confused, but... It could be worse, I could be using a Windoze server.
As to your problem, I guess you will need to either reorganize your
files, or perhaps create a directory named "/home/users/-1" that contains
lots of symlinks into the various username dirs. Something like:
mkdir /home/users/-1
cd /home/users/-1
ln -s ../[a-z]*/* .
