+ <para>This parameter specifies the absolute path of the directory on the
+ filesystem used to store the user defined share definition files.
+ This directory must be owned by root, and have no access for
+ other, and be writable only by the group owner. In addition the
+ "sticky" bit must also be set, restricting rename and delete to
+ owners of a file (in the same way the /tmp directory is usually configured).
+ Members of the group owner of this directory are the users allowed to create
+ usershares. If this parameter is undefined then no user defined
+ shares are allowed.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ For example, a valid usershare directory might be /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares,
+ set up as follows.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <programlisting>
+ ls -ld /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares/
+ drwxrwx--T 2 root power_users 4096 2006-05-05 12:27 /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares/
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In this case, only members of the group "power_users" can create user defined shares.
+ </para>
