[Samba] is "security = share" maintained in 3.0.x?

Hi,


I've been having a problem in Samba version 3, using "security = 
share".  When you have a share that you want to be read-only to one 
group, and read-write to another.  It ends up being read-write for both 
groups.  This behavior seems inconsistent with Samba 2.2.x behavior. 

Have the configuration options changed, or is this a bug?  This issue is 
listed on Samba's bugzilla site:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1844
 and so far, the only reaction I've seen by talking to Samba people 
about it, is that "security = share" is major pain, and nobody wants to 
deal with it's problems.  Is share level security being phased out of 
Samba, or am I just missing the right configuration options?


Thanks!
Carlos
