I thought %U was %username% or something similar.

Subject: [Samba] %U does not work with Win2k
I have discovered that using:
include = somefile.%U
does not work with Win2k. It works ok with Win95, Win98, WinNT, but not
Win2k (I don't know about WinXP). And, yes, Win2k is at SP2.
I have some shares that appear only for some users. This is controled
by:
include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%U
With Win2k the shares appear when the user first connects, but any
attempt to open the share results in an error:
\\server\share
The network name cannot be found.
When the user does a refresh it disappears.
Setting log level to a high value does not help. However, tracing the
process I see that the first time the included file is opened, it
is opened with a name like:
/etc/samba/smb.user.gaa
Every other time it is opened with:
/etc/samba/smb.user.nobody
It looks like Samba is forgetting the user ID, but only when the client
is Win2k.
Any ideas for a fix?
