OK.
I thought I'll first create the text file.
I used sudo nano /usr/local/samba/private/usermap.txt
And inserted the text pi = "Fokke Nauta"
When I tried to save it, it says Error: file or folder doesn't exist.
When I looked, I found there was no folder called samba in /usr/local. I
wasn't able to create it as I did not have the rights to do so.
So I thought I'll do it differently: created a folder samba in /home/pi.
Then: sudo nano /home/pi/samba/usermap.txt and inserted pi = "Fokke
Nauta". Saved it.
Then in smb.conf under [global]: username map = /home/pi/samba/usermap.txt
Restarted samba
 From my Win 10 pc I tried to log is as pi with the password: No way.
Then logging in as Fokke Nauta with the password: No way.

Tough job ...
