Passwords are a pain...and not well documented. We use the 

user = herb

for each drive to override the "scanning" mechanism. Plus if you log in to a
novell net it seems to want to use the same login name as you used for your
primary login server.  "user = " seemed to solve the problems.

force user will change the permissions after login, so you can user "force user"
and "force group" to set those as well. Obviously there is a security issue, but
you can define the same mount point to different services...so you could
implement
security that way.
