[Samba] chgrp work-around thingy

[Vickie L. Kidder]

We have these settings and users can create folders and files with the 
ownership 
and group as described in your example.

1.  Samba config file has "inherit permissions = yes" in the settings for 
the share.
2.  Permissions for the folder are set to:
        # chmod 774 /export/docs
        # chmod g+s /export/docs

        drwxrwsr--      /export/docs
