Yes.

Not so clear, as it doesn't say that in the man page. Why not remove the 
users from the valid group? Just make another group that contains 
everyone for other shares.

Also, when an item is specified twice, usually the last one specified 
overrides the previous one. Such as:

read only = no
read only = yes

...on a share will make it read only.

So you might try placing the invalid users line after the valid users 
line. No guarantees, but it may be worth a shot. Personally I would add 
a group and adjust their memberships.
