Ok ... that makes sense - is this a change since 3.0.7 or before? I just
wonder, because it used to work - lots of guides out there use %u in this
context, such as:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch04.html
OTOH, now that I actually come to re-read man smb.conf, it shows the %U
examples everywhere, so now I know where I *should* have looked...
Anyway, looks like bug 2751 is easily crossed off, then!
