I believe it is, yes. Source: https://www.samba.org/~ab/output/htmldocs/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#id2506183 > All S parameters can also be specified in the [global] section - in which > case they will define the default behavior for all services. And `force user (S)` in those docs is an "S parameter". My patch does not remove the one in [qemu] because I found it somewhat nice to have the settings for "who owns management dirs like 'locks'" and "who owns the files inside the [qemu] share" both be stated explicitly. It makes it a bit more obvious what's going on.
