[Samba] Creating folders while preserving sharing group

[James Chavez]

I have used the force group entry for shares in the past.

[Share]
        comment = Share
        path = /Share
        read only = No
        create mask = 0640
        directory mask = 0740
        force group = data

Not sure if this is frowned upon or not but seems to work ok.

James
