[Samba] Only one user for a file

[John Marquart]

This is a traditional limitation - however many filesystems support ACLs
(Access Control Lists) which allow you to do permissions as you desire -
with multiple users/groups getting a variety of access permissions.  I am
unsure what support there might be in samba for such implementations.
