[PATCH] Allow %G substitution in force user and force group in samba-2.2

[Robbert Kouprie]

Well, you are right that the "force group" substitution is kind of
pointless unless you have a really unnecessary complicated setup.
Obviously it's cleaner to just assign the right group to the forced user
in the /etc/passwd file.

Here's the new patch. Only "force user" this time.
