Thanks, but unfortunately I don't get the "big picture" how this works,
the explaination in smb.conf is too vague. I found a howto on samba.org
giving an example, but the concept to me is not clear.

The howto (sorry, don't have the URL at hand now, I can post it if
needed) mentions to use the command "net group add" (or similiar) to add
a new local group with the nested groups example. However, I've an
existing local group (www-data as mentioned) and I want this to be
equivalent to Windows group WebDevelopment. If adding www-data to
WebDevelopment (or the other way around) achives the same effect, than
that's fine.

thanks,
- - Markus
