[Samba] SAMBA 4 "username" parameter

[Fernando Gonçalves]

The "valid users" parameter already existed in version 3 of the SAMBA and
indicated which users were allowed to access the share.

The "username" parameter indicated which user should be used when it was
not defined at the time of mapping.
SMB.CONF

[folder]
...
username = userX
valid users = userX, userY, ...

To map the "folder" share, only the following line was needed:

net use  \\samba-server\folder userX_password
