This config option is not tested and not supported as part of Spectrum Scale. Only SMB/Samba config parameters that are accessible through the GUI or mmsmb CLI are officially supported. If you have a usecase requiring support for additional Samba parameters, the proper way to request support is through a RFE. That said, i do not see why the Samba behavior would change here from v4 to v5. If you want to debug this, i would suggest to recreate the problem with this parameter in place while capturing a SMB trace (mmprotocoltrace start smb). The SMB trace should then have sufficient information to determine why the owner of the file is not as expected.

We make extensive use of the ‘force user’ parameter in our cross protocol shares. I have just been informed, that although we can set the parameter using ‘net conf’ it isn’t implemented in the current version of Samba in v5.0.5 of SCALE. Has anyone else faced this issue, and what has been your workaround.
