Here here.  I've been trying out 3.0.0 a bit yesterday and today and figured out I was having trouble because of what I've always done in the past on the Homes share - valid users = %S denies access altogether for even the correct and authenticated user.

I understand that permissions can be set appropriately on a users home directory 700 or what not, but I think Chris's comment above hits the nail right on the head.  Can we please have the valid users = %S functionality back?

Thankyou,
