AW: strange permission problem

[Zheng Liu]

Hi Don,

thanks a lot for your help. I use "force group = +groupname" instead
"force group = groupname" and get the effect what I want. that means
I only allow the member of this group to create  file or directory
on this share and they owned by this group. The other users aren't
allowed to read and write in this share.
