My guess would be that this would be something like specifying the lowest UID that is able to access shares. You should probably use 1000 by default, which is where adduser starts adding regular user accounts by default. The setting would be used to prevent someone from trying to connect and assume the identity of a system account like mail, www-data, or root. Again, that's just a vague guess. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.aclu.org/
