If you connect as peter, I would expect the admin user option
to take precendence. If you connect as niklas, then I would
expect the 'force user' parameter to take effect. Is this
not what you are seeing?
If not, then tell me how the current behavior differs from
2.2.
cheers, jerry

Hi Jerry,
neither files / directories are created using the user peter, nor niklas.
They are create using the user root.
The behavior in 2.2 was like this: when setting "force user = www_200a3i",
then samba would actually create all files with the owner set to
www_200a3i.
in 3.0.0, this only works with the "force group" setting. However, i would
also like to change the owner, not only the group.
Greetings,
Peter
