IIRC, the conclusion we reached at UDS was that the value of "usershare max
shares" should be set at compile time to avoid any hassle of updating
smb.conf files, is that how you remember it as well?

Also, according to the samba documentation, the permissions on the usershare
path need to be 01770 rather than 01775.

Please find attached an updated patch which incorporates these two changes,
as well as tweaking the documentation patch for consistency.

If this looks good to everyone, I can go ahead and commit it straight away.
