[Samba] What is the difference between %S, %u and %U variables in sbm.comf

[Dmitrijs Demidovs]

Hi list,

Can someone please clarify the difference between variables %S %U %u in smb.conf?

It is not clearly defined in man smb.conf page (at least for me)

%U - session username (the username that the client wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got).
%S - the name of the current service, if any.
%u - username of the current service, if any.

That is "session username", "the name of the current service" and "username of the current service"?


Thanks.
