This may be useful for sharing files. You should also use it carefully as using it incorrectly can cause security problems. This user name only gets used once a connection is established. Thus clients still need to connect as a valid user and supply a valid password. Once connected, all file operations will be performed as the "forced user", not matter what username the client connected as. Default: no forced user Example: force user = auser there is also a 'force group', and a 'force create mode'.
