[Samba] Veto files applied per group

["M. Müller"]

ReHi,
You could also include just a students.conf or students-home.conf in the 
[home] Definition:
[home]
path=/home
...
include %G-home.conf

If there is no %G-home.conf e.g. teachers-home.conf, then nothing is 
included. Otherwise the definitions are overwritten or extended by the 
%G-home.conf.
You just have to write less lines.

HTH,
Malte Mueller
